I believe the short answer to this is No. If you didn't travel by train you weren't delayed by train. It does seem unfair as you were forced to make other arrangements, but I don't think you can make a claim in this situation. You might be able to claim for abandoned journey due to...

I know, I was passing the time on my journey while I was on the ex-Redcar to Man Airport TPE, having boarded at York, and when we stopped at Man Vic and I was getting off at Man Picc it occurred to me to wonder whether a connection between MCV and MAN would be an option for my future journeys...

Sorry, I arrived in Hereford and went for a Spoons early dinner! Home now. Yes that's a possibility, but I'd have to be careful to avoid changing at Salford Cresent and/or at Crewe, and it remains much cheaper via Liverpool and New Street. I might treat myself occasionally. Thanks for all...

No, sorry if I’ve caused confusion by the way I worded it. I’m actually thinking of future occasions, when I could have an alternative route from Southport back to Hereford, rather than always via Liverpool/Brum. I’m on the Man Pic to Hereford now, having left Scarborough this morning (changed...

Thanks, that’s useful to know.

Never used the tram from Victoria. Which destination would I look for?

The whole reason I’m researching is to avoid the walk. I know there’s a bus link but the traffic is pretty bad and I wouldn’t want to miss my connection.

Thank you, link will be saved. Edit: same error occurs when I amend dates on the link

Sorry I was looking at next Friday 23rd. I put in Departing after 12:30. Just tried it again and it’s still coming back with: Sorry, an error has occurred. Received HTTP 422: No outward journeys available I don’t know what HTTP 422 means?

Trainsplit won’t sell me a ticket for the 12:36 TPE from MCV to MAN. Is there a reason for this? Presume they are in the same group but does that block ticketing between the two?

Just seen this, sorry no-one replied. What happened? I'd have asked the XC guard to advise re. getting the TPE connection. It seems reasonable rather than a two hour delay, and I believe the understanding is that for any delay over an hour you're supposed to be able to get another operator's...

Right, I went to the link from the TfW email and it shows claim still in progress, and unable to appeal. Maybe they are treating both sets of tickets separately and I might get the other payment at a later date. I must say from acknowledging receipt of my claim earlier today, they took...

The plot thickens. Have now had a reply from TfW accepting my claim, but I submitted two sets of tickets and they are paying out for one. I've a good mind to leave it at that and be grateful to get something back. £28.65 instead of £57.30. Better than nothing, and I still feel guilty getting...

As a matter of interest, if they had been e-tickets and were scanned on the TfW, would that have proved that we did get to Newport in good time?

Update - it’s been passed to TfW. Will see what happens next. Grossly unfair if TfW end up having to pay out, but I guess in the circumstances it’s not GWR’s fault either.
