Should I ask for compensation?

[thenorthern]

On a journey I made from Glasgow to Crewe this evening a group of young ticketless people got on at Carlisle who started talking about their sex lives, started playing explicit music and comparing their spliffs.

I was in Coach A (Quiet) although in any coach its not the behavoir you expect so I went to get the train manger who recommended I moved to Coach U although he went to deal with the trouble makers but knew it wasn't going to be easy as he said they are regular trouble makers.

Anyway given that I had a ticket that I had a reserved seat for in Coach A and I had to be moved by someone causing a nuisance who didn't have a ticket should I ask Virgin Trains for compensation or do you think that is asking for too much?

Is that a joke or something?

In that case, can I get a refund on a flight I had with a kid crying behind me?

If you don't ask you don't get, though they don't have to give you anything.

No, you are not entitled to compensation, as the train manager provide you with a perfectly good solution.

But if you complain to Virgin, you might get lucky and get one of those £50 "we have taken your comments onboard" generic responses to make you go away.

I am locking this thread because that is all that can be said. Leaving this thread open is bound to cause problems.
