Hello all, I’m writing this to see if anyone agrees with me and to hear other people’s opinions but I’ve been using Thameslink to travel to and from work for about 6 months now and I can honestly say it’s the worst commute I’ve ever done. I work in South London so I get on at Norwood Junction and get off at Redhill and change onto GWR for a service to Dorking Deepdene. The connection time between both trains is 6 minutes which is a fair amount of time in my opinion. But everyday there’s some sort of problem. Today we were stuck outside Purely for 5 minutes because another train had to cross over the junction - but even that’s delayed. That particular got into Purley on time so why’s it just sitting there and not leaving? I’ve seen exactly the same at east Croydon.
before I moved to Surrey I used to commute from Ramsgate. A journey which was a considerable amount longer but never had any problems.
I don’t know what the bigger joke is, the fact they seem to be incompetent at running a service or the fact that the fairs have risen for more delays and cancellations. Anyway rant over, I’d be interested to hear everyone else’s thoughts.
