Hi all
First time poster so please be gentle.......
We've got a weekend away booked in Kingston starting 28th August and have advance tickets from Birkenhead Hamilton Square via Chester and Crewe to Euston. Once there we need to cross London on the tube to get to Vauxhall to catch our onward connection to Kingston.
So, with the proposed tube strike the journey across town is going to cause problems. I've asked my ticket supplier if I can alter my journey because of the planned industrial action but they said no and that I could only get a refund and re-book another journey avoiding London.
My question is could I ask nicely at St Pancras and take a Thameslink to Wimbledon and from there catch a later train on to Kingston?
We've had late running trains before that have caused us to miss a connection and have been told on every occasion that we can take the next available service. Would the tube strike be a similar case do you think?
Sorry for the lengthy post and thanks in advance for your help. Tom
