Oh that's horrid.

Mines just got even better. A car has crashed into a rail bridge and my train is now being diverted. My taxi from the diverted station will be £25. I'm really trying to think nice things :-/

Doesn't the train company pick up the bill then ?

I'm on my iPhone so have no smilies. You know that one that bounces up and down madly, well that may give you an idea of the answer and how I feel. Er no !

 

[vernon]

I'm thinking about nothing in particular.

 

[Hill Wimp]

How about a nice cold:

A friend's train had to stop at Rochdale last night because of an explosion risk next to the railway line. The rail company laid on an emergency bus service for passengers.

An aunt of my mum was due to travel from Glasgow to Oban by train once but a landslide blocked the line. The rail company paid for a taxi to take her the 95 miles home!

Did I ever mention that my commute takes 4 minutes either by car or on bike.

I don't suppose that helps does it

 

[Hill Wimp]

Not as short as Phils though he only has to walk across the hallway.

Four years to go then no more commute and a early retirement for me.

They should do. Pick up a form at the station you board your train. Clearly stating that you wish to claim back the cost of the taxi, due to them not being able to keep to their side of the contract.
Standard proceedure, so they may not know a thing about it....

 

[Hill Wimp]

Unfortunately that doesn't apply to me .

 

[Hill Wimp]

I can strongly recommend that - best thing I ever did

I think it's 220 weeks, not that I'm counting much:-)

 

[phil_hg_uk]

I can strongly recommend that - only thing I ever did
