A couple of weeks ago I got caught up in the chaos caused by the extremely rainy weather (I hadn't realised the extent of the disruption when I started my journey). On the 7th Nov I travelled from Manchester Victoria to Leeds, and then back from Leeds to Todmorden, travelling only on Northern trains and I held a Northern Trains only Anytime Short Return ticket (as I was returning back to Manchester from Todmorden the next day). Both legs of the journey on the 7th Nov were severely delayed. However, Northern have rejected my delay repay claim on the basis that I 'was travelling with Transpennine Express', and have forwarded my claim on to them. This is despite me sending them a photograph of my ticket which clearly says on it 'valid only on Northern Trains services' (and also Todmorden, which I clearly mentioned as being my destination station, is only served by Northern services as far as I am aware). Obviously I have appealed, and I just hope the appeal is read by somebody with a modicum of common sense!!
