Well yes - here's an alternative view (apologies if this link has
already turned up on uk.r or utl)

Certainly made me laugh but then I don't have to use FCC.

It's alright for you, then!

Actually, much as it might pain me and/or others, I find FCC more reliable
than WAGN were, for Cambridge-King's Cross services anyway. I've not spent
so many evenings stuck at Welwyn or the likes since the franchise change.

Seems they can get some things right then. The last time I went to use
FCC Thameslink (Burgess Hill - Brighton) the train was cancelled thus
wrecking my plans. I had no option but to return to London. I was not
impressed - and it was nothing to do with the current problems.

Burgess Hill-Brighton you could have used Southern for, surely?
