First Capital Connect Update - A note from Andrew Dismore MP

I wrote to Mr Dismore on Thursday to express my dismay at how useless First Capital Connect have become. He wrote back on Friday via Email. Seems like the MD has been sacked. Can't say this surprises me.

Our Ref: Transport e-Update 8.2: Thameslink disruption Please quote reference on all correspondence November 2009 Dear Mr Tichborne, I know many constituents will have been inconvenienced by the disruption of First Capital Connect Thameslink services today. I thought you would wish to know that I raised the issue in the Commons this afternoon in a question to the Minister responsible for railways: I am enclosing a copy of my press release and Hansard extract which I thought you would like to see. I have just been informed that the Managing Director of FCC left their employment last Friday. I was due to meet him in a few days time anyway, so I am now trying to arrange an early meeting with another senior executive of the company (in the absence of a new MD) to discuss the dispute as well as more general Thameslink matters. As and when there is anything further to report, I will let you know! Best wishes Yours sincerely, Andrew Dismore MP Labour Member of Parliament for Hendon
