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".

;-)

God help us if First retain FCC or worse gain the Crossrail
franchise.

I can think of worse. National Express, for example.
