In light of the GA thread I am just checking I have this right….. reading this post https://www.railforums.co.uk/thread...-of-number-of-tickets-held-mythbuster.198338/ it seems that I can claim for the full journey? We was caught up in the southern WCML fun and games yesterday while trying to get from Nuneaton to West Byfleet and back.
The plan was 13:35 from Nuneaton, in to Euston at 14:50 then according to NRE a hop on the under ground at 14:57 to Vauxhall and then SWT to West Byfleet arriving at 16:03.
what actually happened was a crawl to MKC, then a change to another LNWR which had a crawl south to all shacks and finally arrived into Euston at 17:15 so over an hour after we should have been on West Byfleet, we finally arrived at 18:35.
Coming home we planned to leave West Byfleet at 18:27, back into London at 19:39, then back on a train north at 21:49 and into Nuneaton at 22:57.
For the Nun to Eus leg we had LNWR only super off peak tickets but not linked to any specific train, and then the Euston to West Byfleet leg we had London Zones 1&2 tickets to West Byfleet Off Peak day return tickets.
because we was delayed into getting to West Byfleet that pushed our return trip home back after doing what we needed to do, so we was on the 20:27 from West Byfleet back to Waterloo, then tube over to Euston and it was a case of waiting and seeing, we ended up on an Avanti to Manchester Pic as no LNWR we’re going north of Watford, and even then they didn’t seem to be running. The Avanti was due out at 22:00 so only a few mins behind our original plan, but didn’t actually leave until 22:58 and got into Nuneaton 00:33 (80 mins late and 96 mins down on our original plan)
so my question is am I right in thinking I can claim back for both parts of the journey ie Nun to Eus and Eus to Wby? And for the return leg too as we was late getting on at Wby due to the late arrival? Or just the Eus to Nun on the return?
any help very much appreciated as only ever had to claim delay repay once before and that was nice and easy due to a simple trip A to B and no trains for 2 hours on the return.
