I hope I've posted this in the right section
Last night, I was almost stranded in London after finishing work at 8pm. All the trains between Victoria and Ashford (via Maidstone) were cancelled along with other services towards the Kent Coast. I needed to get to Bearsted.
I was advised to go to London Bridge and catch a train to Tonbridge, only to find most of the trains were cancelled. There was 1 train, starting at London Bridge P8 at 20.39 which was terminating at Tonbridge. I asked whether SouthEastern would provide me a taxi to get home to Bearsted and the answer I got was "unlikely - however, I would have to order a taxi myself, pay and claim back from SouthEastern".
Having no other choice, I got this train but got a taxi instead from Sevenoaks (which was nearer with better access to the motorway given that the smaller roads would be snowed up). The taxi fare was just shy of £80!
What are my chances of claiming this back from SouthEastern? I have a receipt from the taxi firm
