I'm no expert but I do use Thameslink & always assume the delays are so common because every train had done a long rural haul (with scope for cumulative trouble) before even leaving central LOndon.
Services terminating/starting in London have a big advantage as they can start on time.

This is my #train arriving, a #Thameslink class 700 (#Siemens #Desiro City) set, number 700107.
This is very much an atmosphere shot, composed #contrajour as the sun was close to setting and the train approached from the south.

Coincidence?
I have taken 8 trains through Europe in the past 10 days, in Switzerland, France, Belgium, travelling between Italy and UK. Every one ran on time.
In UK, half the trains I caught were late. Looking at you #ThamesLink, #Avanti & #LNER.

Thameslink fined me for sitting in wrong seat even though I had a ticket https://www.theguardian.com/money/2022/dec/05/thameslink-fined-me-wrong-seat-ticket-first-class-inspector
Kherson’s rail has been repaired! Dear British railways, it takes you ages to fix the tiniest fault! Lessons to learn here? #ukraine #uk #thameslink #greatwesternrail #BritishRailways #london
