    An interesting Delay Repay Claim - two legs of journey delayed. What should be correct outcome ?

    Just a quick update. Yesterday I applied to Southeastern for the delay repay . Received an email this morning stating that I will get 100% refund for the cost of the return leg of my journey. Super quick resolution on SE's behalf. Well done the said TOC.

    An interesting Delay Repay Claim - two legs of journey delayed. What should be correct outcome ?

    The Southern train was only 23 mins late and wasn't responsible for the extent of the delay. I'm sure they won't be best pleased :)

    An interesting Delay Repay Claim - two legs of journey delayed. What should be correct outcome ?

    As I stated in my original post if the Hastings - Ashford Int train had run to time ie arriving at 2010 my connection to STP ,which was due to depart at 2016, was still delayed until 2143. Hence the Southern delay had no impact on my journey. I think i will try to claim from Southeastern.

    Avanti strike timetables

    Thanks . I assumed that trains may have stopped running earlier than usual and this would result in a vastly different timetable . I would like to get into Glasgow by 1400. The earliest train I'm able to catch is the 0730. I assume tickets date for 28th Jul will be valid anytime on 26th Jul
