First Group lose Thameslink Franchise

Barnet residents awake this morning to news which will put a wry smile on many faces. First Group have lost the Thameslink franchose. I doubt too many people will shed a tear. From September Govia will run setvices. Will they do a better job? Who knows but given the problems commuters have had with First, we hope so. Personally I'd prefer a differrnt company to have won. It's called British Rail.
