To take your points in turn -
1) No I don't forget them and I didn;t say so. A pro-rated equivalence was what I expected.
This arrangement has never applied to season tickets. You already receive a considerable pecuniary advantage over infrequent travellers.
..2) What has weekend travel, cheap breaks or any of that got to to do with the lack of service? Are you seriously suggesting that anyone offering any kind of frill or extra can use that to offset or deflect a complaint? Did I buy my season for the purpose of weekend trips to the zoo with my family? Is that relevant?
As you clearly did not understand the point - The illustration demonstrates the amount of days which are not charged for, yet which are still available for travel. It has nothing to do with your "complaint"
..... "No-one forced me to buy a ticket....twisted my arm...." What on earth are you talking about? No-one "forced me" to live/work/eat etc where and what I do but you will find that despite the best efforts of the TOCs to avoid responsibility for the one service that they exist to provide, every service provider in every field is now required to do this. TOCs in particular. I buy a season for the obvious reason of avoiding an indeterminate daily queueing to repeat an activity pointlessly. and for the blindingly obvious reason that they exist exactly for the purpose of commuters making repetitive journeys. I might ask you why you pay for a "season" of electricity rather than feed your meter with coins every day. It is an asinine point to put it mildly.
Your over dramatic opening rant was aimed at the TOC who were actually NOT responsible for the delay. How exactly did you intend them to run trains ? You obviously are not aware that the only requirement incumbent upon transport service providers is to supply you with a journey. There is no guarantee at what time or how long that shall take. That is a condition upon which you purchase your ticket irrespectively of what you may think. Another demonstration of the fault in your reasoning is that of Utilities suppliers - who can disconnect you for up to 24 hours with recompense or warning.
...4) Your shop analogy is completely misguided. DO you not understand the difference between a good and a service?
I certainly do, some on here including yourself appear not to though. Your "service" was supplied to you as you travelled home. Despite agreed conditions for the use of Season Tickets, YOU want then changed to suit yourself and presumably because your colleague has gained a form of financial benefit you perceive you should have received, despite the the fact that you already receive a considerable discount on a comparable basis.
....5) The causes of a delay are not for me to investigate. Your implication that somehow it is down to me to research for the bridge bash, the suicide, the breake cylinder failure on the class 165 in front etc etc is spurious and irrelevant.
I suggest you re-read and understand this time ? If you are that desperate to gain financial recompense for delay then this should be taken against the individual / organisation which has
caused the loss or damage. This is something well entrenched in Law. Its brake cylinder by the way.
..I pay for a service. THe service has an SLA. The SLA was not met.
No you do not pay for a service at all. Your Contract is for a journey from a specified point to a specified point.
There is no SLA. Your rights, responsibilities and obligations are set out in the National Conditions of Carriage.
....My argument was about the unnecessarily unequal treatment of the regular and occasional traveller. Try and keep up.
No it was not about the unequal treatment . You get a substantial discount for the number of journeys you make against the occasional traveller. You are also given additional days where the services have been disrupted sufficiently.
The occasional traveller was given a token payment. You want both, and I think most on here will form there own judgement on that.
..... The whole tone of your note is unpleasantly bizarre and defensive, as though a criticism of the railways is a personal affront -
Your initial rant was completely flawed, attacked a TOC who had no bearing on the cause of your delay. The over dramatisation .... [removed]
....does rail mean so much to you that the inconsistent treatment of a service failure by a service user requires you - a casual bystander - to throw up so much irrelevant chaff ..
I find your tone and attitude very strange. You have taken one single instance of a delay, and then started to act and rant like an adolescent simply because your colleague gained an advantage. Presumably it has taken you some three months to wind yourself up to this state ?
You have had a perfectly reasonable response from the TOC, but because this does not suit you it becomes "absurd nonsense", "utter cr*p".
You then run a wholly off the wall argument about "collective bargaining" (do you know what this is ?) which is as irrelevant as it is wrong.
You say
Why should some season ticket holders endure misery in order to compensate all others?
. What are you on about ? What misery are you suffering ? Can you provide evidence that the staff were "lazy" ?
.......at fault for using a train anyway when he could have used a car, or moved house or changed jobs?
It is your choice to work and live where you do, that is a statement of fact. All commuters accept that there will be delays and disruption to their journeys and take it on the chin. You are in a far better position than someone who has to travel by road, with NO compensation. Your journey is almost certainly far cheaper by rail than by car anyway.
I think we will have to contrast my behaviour against yours and the irrational ravings of your first post in making such a decision, dont you ?
