Signs and portents (well, a map, anyway)

It does... but it's far less prominent now. The trains don't have it written on them any more and announcements etc. don't mention it. Besides which, once the Thameslink work is all finished, the thameslink route could mean trains to any number of destinations rather then the fairly simple route it refers to at the moment. All of which will pass through Farringdon, though. And vice versa, every train which passes through Farringdon will be on the Thameslink route. Makes no difference, the name "Thameslink" refers to Brighton / Sutton to Bedford. Er, what? That's what it refers to now, sure. When trains are running from King's Lynn to Guildford or whatever, it'll refer to those too. Trains going to Peterborough have never been called Thameslink or part of the Thameslink route, No, because they haven't been part of it. They are set to become part of it. so still calling it Thameslink will be confusing, No, not calling it Thameslink when it's part of the same operation as Brighton to Beford will be confusing. especially since the operator won't be called Thameslink either. True. And stupidly, NR doesn't seem at all keen on giving lines public names distinct from their operators, which would be a continuing use for the Thameslink name. tom -- skills to pay the bills! |
