    Thameslink Services/Timetable from May 20th 2018

    That's not actually true.The first 2 trains to Rainham were cancelled.Im very fortunate that I recently changed my job.If I hadn't I would have been in trouble by now.

    Train Driving vs Bus Driving

    I think we all know what the posters agenda is here.He clearly wants someone to blame the unions for this fiasco.

    I didn’t think they still did those.I remember there being one many years ago which I used to catch to go to Dreamland Margate.

    What’s with the random Cannon st to Ramsgate service on the Greenwich line today?

    Thameslink Services/Timetable from May 20th 2018

    I mentioned this last week.Its ridiculous.I asked South Eastern why and they said it would cause more delays.I pointed out that there was so much dwell time in the highspeed that it probably wouldn't cause an issue.They don't care though so run a bus to Strood and then get on the very same...

    I can't be bothered to reply to him anymore.I have asked him a couple of questions that he has just ignored.I would suggest everyone just ignores him

    I think if it was me, I would get on the Gatwick Express and if they queried it I would ignore or say take me to court!Its a joke with the service being offered.

    Well I asked the question about the high speed.

    From what journey planning is telling me, there are no more Thameslink trains running today.Only bus service from Higham.

    Thameslink Services/Timetable from May 20th 2018

    I have known high speeds to stop at Higham in the past.I never understood why it was not included in the route as it would of made very little difference in run time.Maybe there is another reason, because at present it really should be stopping at Higham and not a ridiculous bus service.I might...

    Southeastern must be pleased though as it's forcing people on to the more expensive highspeed.Probably the plan all along.Just stop at Higham!

    I've had a lucky escape as I now work locally.Until last month I commuted to Strood.Looks like I got out just in time.

    Thameslink Services/Timetable from May 20th 2018

    I don't know how this situation can be allowed to carry on.Just stop the Hs1 at Higham.Its a no brainer.I really can't understand why this is not being done.No instead they get a bus service to Strood to pick up the very same highspeed train that passes through Higham.Also how is Strood bearing...

    This pretty much sums up this great new service. http://www.fromthemurkydepths.co.uk/2018/05/31/thameslink-hits-a-new-low-with-seven-hour-service-gap/

    I agree semi fast trains as great as they were and are need to go for more reliability

    Indeed.Its a disgrace and should never of happened.

    Thameslink Services/Timetable from May 20th 2018

    It’s not a question of if this service works or not.The question is what is the point of this service?Medway can get to all these fab new destinations much quicker using hs1.The Charing Cross service is far more useful and as I said previously, if the service needs to stop every station then so...

    I was going to reply to the poster on this, but I couldn’t be bothered.You would hope he was taking the mick, but going on his previous comments I feel he was serious.

    That's not what I was saying.Im quite happy for services to stop at every station.What I am saying though is the Rainham to Luton service is not needed or wanted.The Charing Cross service was far more practical.Im certainly not being selfish I'm actually thinking of everyone then uses public...

    Rubbish.Medway doesn't need Thameslink.Start Thameslink at Dartford if you must and restore the Charing Cross service from Dartford to Medway.It makes far more sense.By all means stop at all stations, that does make sense now.
