Barak Obama. The first black president of America. It will go down in history, and he  has changed the world. However I can’t say I am a big supporter of  his foreign policy. I have heard no mention to tackle such important international issues as our Thameslink. He needs to get his priorities sorted out….

On a more serious, and positive note, the service wasn’t so bad this week. Only the usual delays to deal with. The only annoying thing now is all these people giving out more free teabags. They are harder to dodge than London Lite giver-outers!

Happy weekend

Lots – and because it snowed last night, IhateThameslink will get a record number of hits over the next few days!* Why you ask? Well, because, as any thameslink sufferer knows, when the weather changes, the trains go up the spout, and I’m hoping fellow sufferers will join me on this page!

Yes it did snow last night, and it was bloomin cold today, and whether caused by the weather or just a coincidence, the Luton service today at 5.34pm from City Thameslink was cancelled. The next train, usually a fast one to Bedford was therefore made to stop at all stations. It was Ramadama! I don’t think many people got on the train after kings Cross, but to be honest I couldn’t see through all the people what was going on.

But no worry – ‘First Capital Connect are sorry for any inconvenience caused’. I am so sick of hearing that announcement I cant express it in words.

And I though Thameslink was meant to be improving! We’ve got the inevitable disaster of a Thameslink upgrade programme to look forward towhich will see us through to 2015 – I cant wait.

Please, if you hate Thameslink as much as I do, spread the word, link to Ihatethameslink, or leave a comment below.

In the words of Russell Brand, I bid you a Hare Krishna.

*It probably wont, but who knows.

This website has been created for the following reasons;

1. To allow ThamesLink sufferers to share their stories and pain with each other, and have a good old moan about how shite the trains are!
2. Provide information on how to complain to First Capital Connect and push for compensation if possible.
3. Googlebomb thameslink! Yes – lets get enough links to this website in order for it to appear as the number one result when a search is performed for Thameslink or First Capital connect. That’ll teach ‘em!
4. Have a bit of a laugh and occasionally post some interesting articles / videos / pics.

Hello and welcome to I hate Thameslink! The URL says it all! This blog dedicated to the wonderful world of Thameslink (aka First Capital Connect) and their useless Network of trains. Having being subject to the most appalling train service for a number of years I decided it was time to create a space for fellow sufferers to vent their frustration, anger, and also have a bit of a laugh.

If you are reading this, chances are that you hate Thameslink as much as I do, and so I welcome you to our community. Please bare with me as the website is developed, however any feedback would be very welcome, and please spread the word to you friend, family, and fellow sufferers…. erm I mean passengers…same difference.
