First one has to register then one finds that the registration is blocked because it will not upload a simple jpg image of a season ticket. Please also ask them how they intend to compensate season ticket holders. Issuing five day tickets is useless; they should offer a meaningful discount on the next season ticket renewal Please persuade them to make the online Delay Repay facility less obstructive.

The latest news on what I have been doing on this issue is here: www.streathamlabour.org.uk/2010/01/action-on-thameslink/ I have been in correspondence with the chair of First Group on the issue but, frankly, his reply was unsatisfactory and not terribly enlightening. Consequently myself and neighbouring MP and Minister for London, Tessa Jowell MP, have called an emergency meeting between ourselves and the bosses at FCC to find out what on earth is going on and to put pressure on them to improve the shabby service you have been receiving. The meeting is taking place in the next few days. If you have any queries or questions you would like me to pose at our meeting with FCC (I already have a list and it is growing), I would be most grateful if you could drop me a tweet or email containing them so I can ensure they are addressed by FCC. Many thanks.
