If a train is now cancelled passengers are now having to wait up to an hour for the next one. It used to be the case that I never needed to look at a timetable, as it was never more than a 15 minute wait. If I used a slow train, trains would run what seemed like every few minutes at the weekends but that has now all changed.
Actually the rail operator is in complete breach of their franchise agreement that states:
"Between and including the Early and Late Services 50 services shall be provided at 15 minute intervals from Bedford to London Blackfriars, calling at the stations in paragraph 1.1. After 18:00 intervals of 20 minutes may be permitted. Two services per hour at 30 minute intervals shall call additionally at West Hampstead Thameslink."
