I must admit Transpenning are normally very good at paying delay repay claims, but on Bank Holiday friday my claim was unsuccessful, despite my train being cancelled and having to wait over an hour, this was on a return section of a day return ticket though, so Im not sure if these count?
I was caught up in the storm on a trip to Glasgow on Saturday, the train ended at Carlisle so we were there for around 5 hours, I dont usually bother with delay repay especially since the Railways cant really do a lot about a storm, its hardly their fault and a storm warning was given, but I...

Hi Guy

No sooner had the train set off...
