Question: What are the operating years of this British train operating company that was the last operator of King's Cross Thameslink railway station?
Context: Southern is the brand name used by the Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) train operating company on the Southern routes of the Thameslink, Southern and Great Northern franchise in England.  It is a subsidiary of Govia, a joint venture between transport groups Go-Ahead and Keolis, and has operated the South Central rail franchise since August 2001 and the Gatwick Express service since June 2008.  In July 2015, the franchisee was subsumed into GTR, but the Southern and Gatwick Express brand identities were retained alongside those of Thameslink and Great Northern. The Thameslink Programme, originally Thameslink 2000, is a £6 billion project in south-east England to upgrade and expand the Thameslink rail network to provide new and longer trains between a wider range of stations to the north and to the south of London without requiring passengers to change trains in London.  Work includes platform lengthening, station remodelling, new railway infrastructure, and additional rolling stock.  The project was originally proposed in 1991 following the successful introduction of the initial Thameslink service in 1988.  After many delays, planning permission was granted in 2006 and funding was approved in October 2007.  Work started in 2009 and is expected to be complete in 2018.  The Thameslink Programme is being carried out by Network Rail in association with the relevant train operating companies.

Go-Op (full name Go!  Cooperative Ltd), is an open access train operating company which is currently proposing to operate a service between Taunton and Swindon, via Westbury.  It aims to become the first cooperatively owned train operating company in the United Kingdom, to improve access to the public transport infrastructure through open access rail services linking main lines to smaller market towns, and co-ordinating services with light rail and bus links and car pools.  Go-Op intended to begin operating rail services in the spring of 2014, however difficulties in obtaining rolling stock and severe financial difficulties incurred by their main partner The Co-operative Bank have delayed these plans.
