    Missed train due to platform alteration (Was Despicable treatment by EC)

    Hi everyone. I have held this grudge for over two years now and want to thank you all no matter what your attitudes.I realise now the futility of trying to obtain redress, compensation , or recognition and will let it all go.My satisfaction lies in the fact that if East Coast and companies like...

    Missed train due to platform alteration (Was Despicable treatment by EC)

    Hi Tail Gunner,I did contact Trans-Pennine who suggested I contact East Coast who seem to accept responsibilty for the service.They completely discounted the possibility that the station would not have informed the customers.I was livid then and still am about this whole situation.I'm a...
