The situation: my employer provided a rail warrant to travel between my home and place of work for a business trip. The rail warrant was exchanged for off-peak return tickets, as usual. Unfortunately the first leg of my journey was delayed and I ended up missing the subsequent connection and the second leg of the journey. The total delay was over 60 minutes.
The dilemma: firstly, is it even possible to put in a delay repay claim for the rail warrant tickets? I presume the tickets (old style paper card) are linked via a ticket number to the warrant somehow? Secondly, morally, I'm not sure where I stand on this one! I was delayed and it turned out to be a considerable inconvenience to me as I had to get a taxi to my final destination instead of a public bus, however I haven't actually paid for the original rail tickets!
Advice on policy, and opinions on morality welcome!
