At Moorgate station this evening I noticed that TfL have eventually
got around to updating the signs that used to point to the
"Thameslink" and "WAGN" platforms.

The former are now simply signed as "Trains to Bedford", the latter as
"Trains to Stevenage". All reference to Thameslink or WAGN has gone.
There is no reference to First Capital Connect.

At Farringdon a few minutes later I also noticed that the signs to
"Thameslink" have been replaced by ones that now simply say "National
Rail".

Quite right too. With these ridiculous short seven-year franchises it makes
no sense to waste money on operator-specific signage that needs to be
replaced if the franchisee changes.

Bit isn't the (Bedford) line, as opposed to the TOC, still called
Thameslink, even by FCC?? Why do they have to change anything?
