why do these train companies continue to re-brand and think it's good news for the passengers???

Thameslink is now First Capital Connect. Sames trains. Sames delays. Same price. Same service. New stickers inside the train and new name.

Is it not because First purchased Thameslink/won the route rather than just a renaming. Not surprising imo that they would rebrand in this situation
