I personally think it should be branded as part of and integrated into
the Crossrail system rather than 'Thameslink' so that we move to a
more Paris style - Metro / RER (Tube / Crossrail).

I suppose that fits with the branding, as Crossrail would then have a
network in the shape of a cross.

Or, you could call Thameslink "First Capital Connect" and Crossrail
"Second Capital Connect".

The Chelsea-Hackney route would be "Third Capital Connect".

Or how about Thameslink as it is, the ELL as Thameslink East, and the WLL
as Thameslink West.

Thameslink for up/down, and Crossrail for left/right. (Er that might be
left/right ish - in the case of Chelney)...

Hang on, can't have left/right, it's got to be eastbound/westbound(1) as
avid followers of the periodic Picc, line does it go
east/west/north/south/in/out/in/out/shake it all about? debates can
testify..;-)

(1) If you work on the Picc, if you're one of those /cleese=on/ splitters
(hawk, gob) /cleese=off/ that make up the rest of the population then this
way & that way will probably do. Of course, with Chelney we've got the
delightful prospect of Nor,noreastbound & Sou,souwestbound/left & right/port
& starboard rows to look forward to. Perhaps to be started annually on Sept
19th. :-)
