New station at Haringey???
In a press release dated 4th May TfL have a article on a station called
"Haringey", How have they kept this "new" station top secret, as it does not appear on any maps! (yes I am taking the P@#%) Whilst on station names, can the long suffering punters and staff be further confused by the renaming of "Thameslink" stations by the "F in circle" people (with Notwork Rail's approval) to:- "First City Capital Connect" "First Kings Cross Capital Connect" "First West Hampstead Capital Connect". Wonder they havn't thought of it already! |

Wonder they havn't thought of it already! The stations with Thameslink in their title are not going to be renamed. I've read this in at least two separate places. The name applies to the line not the franchisee - as discussed on here a few days ago. -- Paul C Admits to working for London Underground! |

I was bored enough to phone FCC and ask them just before they took over, and they assured my they weren't going to rename the stations. Do tickets not valid via the underground say route Thameslink, or route FCC? -- Arthur Figgis Surrey, UK |

There was a general assumption when FCC launched that there would be a renaming. The original poster when further and said that Network Rail had agreed to the rebranding. I was simply replying to that not making the statement that there would be a change. -- Paul C Admits to working for London Underground! |

The trading name that they used for their services was Thameslink, which happened to be the same as the franchise name. The current franchisee is First Group. The trading name that they use is First Capital Connect - but the name of the franchise, as far as the DfT is concerned, is still Thameslink. Similarly, the Midland Main Line franchise is franchised to National Express and operated using the trading name Midland Mainline and the Inter City East Coast franchise is franchised to Great North Eastern Railway, who operate it using their company name. Not surprising that people get confused, is it? |

Govia's operating company for the franchise, Thameslink Rail Ltd, was named after the route, which was called Thameslink by Network South East before privatisation. The current franchisee is First Group. The trading name that they use is First Capital Connect - but the name of the franchise, as far as the DfT is concerned, is still Thameslink. No, the name of the franchise is Thameslink/Great Northern. First Capital Connect continue to use "Thameslink" to refer to that route within their overall network. Similarly, the Midland Main Line franchise is franchised to National Express and operated using the trading name Midland Mainline and the Inter City East Coast franchise is franchised to Great North Eastern Railway, who operate it using their company name. Not surprising that people get confused, is it? Since the general public aren't generally aware of DfT franchise names, it's less confusing to them than you apparently find it. -- Richard J.

Since I could name every franchise, its franchisee and operating name your presumption that *I* am finding them confusing is incorrect. ;-) |
