Train services in our area seem to be going from a public monopoly to a private monopoly. The idea of privatisation, I thought, was for fair competition to provide good, safe, reliable services for passengers. Although Thameslink appears to run a fairly reliable and safe service, there would be no competition for Govia. This situation was obvious right from the outset and should have been looked into at that time. Passengers want and deserve a good, safe, reliable railway. It's long overdue.
