Thanks for the info. Both my outward and returns were cancelled so go my money back.

Sorry if I have missed this somehow, but what has happened to the Mileage Competition?

Soon to be a fifth now she has gone

May be automated but not quick , claim for journey on 9th April , sent in 10th April - first response 15th June. Final payment received 18th July.

I had a problem with Cross Country over delay repay , where they wrote saying “sorry for your delay , it is calculated as 0 minutes so no payment due” in fact it was an hour as it was an hourly service and the one I was booked on was cancelled. By ringing up several times I eventually got the...

I agree with the others regarding ringing the help line , I always find them helpful and quickly get things sorted. My problems usually arise because I do not live in London, so do not keep a large balance on my Oyster card usually enough for a couple of days capped usage with a Senior Railcard...
