I ‘m not sure that it’s worth falsifying stuff for the £1.88 I would receive if they pay up, it’s the principle of the thing where they are denying that the train was 15 minutes late. That’s why I am pursuing it.

I'll remember that for next time...

I sent this: With respect to the above delay repay appeal, I am given to understand that the time of arrival for the purposes of delay repay is the time that the doors were released, as can be seen from the properties of the attached photograph the doors were in the process of opening at 17:15...

I travelled on 20/05/2019 from Chorley to Manchester Victoria on the 16:19 due to arrive 17:00 While waiting for what seemed an age at a stop signal just outside the station I decided to check realtimetrains.co.uk, it turned 17:14 and we started to move. Almost immediately realtimetrains...
