I have successfully claimed for Delay Compensation with TFW even after the ticket in question was retained at the gate . I did have to send an email to customer services rather than the online claim system.
I have on a couple of occasions travelled via Shrewsbury BHM to HFD when WMR trains cancelled at short notice last year , on advise from staff at BHM . Also walked over to Moor St instead, depending on timings of alternative trains.
I don't think the general public , especially none rail users, understands that trains are not "driven" at speeds controlled by line of clear sight and pull up in that distance , as are motor vehicles, nor can they stop in a similar fashion.
I have had taxi fares reimbursed as a "gesture of goodwill" by TFW and West Midland Railways when I have missed the last bus of the day from HFD due to holdups
I was on an evening train to Hereford just before the new station at Bromsgrove opened and we stopped a whole train length passed the platforms .We backed up after a while, to let passengers on & off. It was winter so not sure if it was wet/ leaves on the line etc.
I noticed these stickers around various parts of the rail and the opening bridge when walking over the rail bridge over the Mawddach on Monday
Are they something to do with alignment of the bridge structure. I know there is work being carried out at the moment.
Interestingly in pic. 1 , the one wheel on one axle has come adrift and is now next to the opposite wheel , not sure if its the intense heat or impact force, One for the RAIB I guess
