摘要

The department for Transports Managing Director Passenger Services, Peter Wilkinson, told a public meeting in Croydon on 18 February that the service provided by the new GoviaThameslink Railway franchise is'not at the standard we expect'and issued an apology'on behalf of the rail industry! The meeting was organised by Croydon Central MP Gavin Barwell and was also attended by representatives of GTR and Network Rail. Problems discussed included short formation of trains, passengers being over-carried due to stops being skipped without warning and large gaps in service on some routes due to cancellations.
