Hello everyone
On March 13 as you know there's strike action affecting Northern and Southern services.
I have an advance ticket that day, starting with a Northern service, ending with a Southern service, with a Virgin west coast service in the middle. I bought the ticket from Virgin west coast.
Northern have published a revised timetable that says there will be a reduced service on the line I need, but I will need to start 31 minutes earlier to make my Virgin connection.
If that and all my other services run fine, am I right to assume that having to start early counts as delay? Will Northern's delay repay website be able to cope with that if my arrival time is actually correct?
If I make my connection and the Southern leg is also delayed, would I claim from Northern if the Southern delay is less than theirs and from Southern if it's more?
And what happens if the Northern service fails to arrive or is too crowded to get on? The only possible chance to make my Virgin connection would be to get a metro tram - will I be able to get my ticket repaid?
Thanks
