360 109 is out of action again today due to a problem with the doors, probably not a coincidence that this is one part of the mechanical systems that appears to have had an upgrade - much quicker to open - when they do...

Ok, but when a TOC gives you more compensation than you claimed for (as has happened to me), would you (edit: try to) give it back?

So I am currently on a journey via London that is 28 minutes delayed on the inbound, and having 90 minutes to think about it I had a few speculative questions... feel free to ignore any silly ones... If I am delayed on the way to a connection and could make up the time by running, should I run...

I actually got 109 from Luton to STP on a rather delayed 11:55-ish, so something was definitely running earlier Preemptive Double post prevention, and I apologise if I am off the mark here so please report me if I am way wide of the mark and it's needed.... I know that there is action short of...

Ok so despite being able to run fewer paths than usual today due to the residual disruption, all Connect services have been canned from the middle of the afternoon through end of day due to lack of availability...

Train to Watford Junction, train to St Albans Abbey, Walk to St Albans City, TL paid for taxi to Harpenden, then paid for another to Luton when they realised the shuttles weren't leaving Bedford anymore, then finally I paid for the last taxi leg home from the station to get more time in bed...

Hopefully final update for anyone else still stuck: shuttles appear to have paused, next one has been due to leave Bedford for ages. Harpenden is now putting on taxis northbound.

Ok st Alban's is advising southbound passengers to take the bus to Hatfield, and putting on taxis for northbound to harpenden. Taxi is charging £40+ extra to go one extra stop to Luton direct... Addendum: a couple of guys actually turned up at City having walked from Abbey because they didn't...

@Mcr Warrior - about to leave Watford on the Abbey flyer!

Oh and I was just chatting to a staff member at Watford Junction and he'd been told the problems were due to a derailment... Will be at St Alban's city in 50 mins so will reassess then. Preemptive Double post prevention - anyone know what 9Z12 to 9Z17 are doing, or am I getting my hopes up...

I considered Hitchin but at this time of night the bus service is late sparse and few! I know that there are many ways home, I was hoping to find out the quickest and best way that the TOC will pay for so that I don't have to fight them later...

Any Luton station, thanks

Apologies if this is posted elsewhere, feel free to merge, I didn't want to drag the EMR refurb thread too far off topic. What's the best advice for getting home this evening? What's the best way to convince whomever I need to to order a taxi? I am currently on LNWR to St Alban's Abbey via...

Sorry I know this is off topic for this thread but thank you, and do you know where they have come down? (Just arrived back in London trying to plan my journey home!!)

Looks like a grand total of 3 Corby running from st Pancras from 2pm to close of play today... Seems the ghost already knows it's been given up.
