So we've had the removal of the refreshments services, removal of the
onboard announcements from the lovely lady, and now bans on actually
travelling by train. I wonder what other improvements First have lined up?

On the ex-Thameslink line, the new pocket timetables no longer show by
shading which morning trains count as 'peak hour' so requiring expensive
tickets. When I complained, the reply was that this was to impose
uniformity with their other lines, where they have, apparently, never
bothered to show such useful information.

This reveals quite well, I think, the quality of the management of this
company. I thought that it would be impossible for any company to make
one hanker for the days of Thameslink, but I was wrong. On the
Brighton-Bedford service, as well, the reliability has gone down a lot
since First Capital Connect took over.
