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

That's because you're a Great Northern man, not a Thameslink, er,
victim.

I thought Thameslink was rather better now (from the TGOC end, not the
works, obviously).

Er, well I think it recovered back to how bad it used to be after the
(no-) driver crisis eventually ended, but it might be teetering on the
precipice again.

It's peak times when I think it really exhibits its potential to turn
to porridge, I think. Not used it so much lately myself though. But
yes, when it's working, it can be fantastic. (Well, perhaps that's a
bit OTT! - how about 'very useful'.)
