What compensation will you give me now Thameslink route trains have stopped serving Barbican and Moorgate?
It has been a Government requirement that passengers using the Tube to get to Barbican or Moorgate from Bedford and stations north of London on the First Capital Connect Thameslink route won’t have to pay any more than they usually would had they been able to catch the Thameslink route train. The Government is funding the Tube element of the journey for 24 months after the Moorgate Thameslink route branch closure. This means tickets will not be sold with validity beyond the 24-month period (March 2011). As a result, First Capital Connect stopped selling annual season tickets to Barbican and Moorgate on 21 March 2010. Shorter length season tickets are available up to March 2011 at the usual discounted rates for such lengths of time. Customers can walk from Farringdon ( 8 minutes to Barbican, 18 minutes to Moorgate at a medium pace), or cycle (a new bicycle rack has been installed at City Thameslink in Pilgrim Street). There are also buses that run from St Pancras International and City
