Second memo to Northern Line controller: why on earth do you choose to
run six trains via Charing Cross in ten minutes, with none via Bank? I
was at Kentish Town at 2210 on Friday night, thinking I'd left ample
time to get to London Bridge by 2249.

choice of 2 lines then. Thameslink changing if necessary. However I
know that Thameslink (now run by First Capital Connect) only care about
the passengers past St Albans- they get fast trains every 4 minutes at
peak hours while local passengers have to wait 16 minutes between
trains (at one point 20 minutes).

They also it seems don't seem to care too much about people south
of the river. I had to get to blackfriars this morning so decided to
get Thameslink from KX instead of spending hours on the circle line.
Instead of a brighton or streatham service we got 3 moorgate trains
in a row despite 2 of them supposedly being brighton trains. In the end

I got on the 3rd one to farringdon and walked the rest of the way
since I had no idea when or if a train south would show up.
No announcements apart from a completely wrong automated one,
no nothing. Farcical.
