Thameslink

The name of rail franchisee in the UK, operating under a management contract who fail at the most fundamental operational areas of business such as employment of enough staff. A euphemism for when an upcoming event or situation that is advertised to be a huge success yet anyone with opposable thumbs could have predicted would result in a fuck-up of epic proportions then proceeds exactly as planned creating a shitstorm beyond all human comprehension. The situation concludes with all involved and responsible for the entirely predictable shitstorm then attempting to bodyswerve any responsibility by blaming the situation onto many unpredictable factors such as the sun rising in the morning and snow falling in the winter time.
