Uber App Payment

I thought about using Uber gift card to furnish a balance but I cannot get an answer for their Customer Support. Does anyone know/use any method of prepayment…

Tube service delay refunds for contactless - journeys more than 28 days ago (when system was down)
Hi all, I have a few tube journeys made via contactless more than 28 days ago that are eligible for service delay refunds (the journeys were delayed by more than 15 minutes).

How do Contactless users submit delay repay claims without TfL journey history on TfL website?
This is part question part rant because TfL website has been down for almost 2 months now so people using Contactless are unable to access their journey history to submit delay repay claims with train companies, apply for journey refunds etc. Has anyone had any luck with claiming without TfL journey history evidence or do…

Delay Repay Serially Underestimated, Same Journey
Hi, I use a Flexi ticket for my journeys. The train is frequently delayed or cancelled, and I frequently get to claim 15min, all the way UK to 2hr+ delays -- usually 25-50% of the time. My issue is that great northern serially underestimate the repayment, maybe 25-50% of the time that I file the delay repay claim.…

Delay repay - off peak ticket
Hi guys I had an off peak return from London Euston to Liverpool Lime Street. I could go any route permitted. I reserved a seat on the 11:43, which was on time, but since I had an off peak return for that day, I ended up getting the 12:43, which was over 20 minutes late. I have put in a claim for delay repay, since the…

East Midlands Railway delay repay
Hi After a terrible day yesterday travelling on EMR I now find their delay repay form isn’t working. Supposed to select stations from a drop down list but it’s not there. Do you think it’s crashed, as most of the line was a shambles yesterday including bus replacement drivers not able to leave on scheduled time due to…

Delay on an earlier train. Can I claim?
My original train was ticketed to leave Euston at 15:50, but I was early enough to be able to get on the 13:50 instead. The 13:50 ended up running 20 minutes late so technically I was delayed even though I arrived at my destination earlier than planned. Am I able to claim as the train I was on was delayed?

£2 bus fares going up to £3
Amidst all the budget speculation about pensions and national insurance, this seems to have slipped under the MSE radar. The Prime Minister has said the current subsidised £2 bus fares will increase to £3. 50% is quite a hike, but I don't think the scheme was ever intended to last as long as it has. Not sure if any bus…

Senior railcard - is this age discrimination?
I bought a senior railcard for myself and an 18-25 railcard for my daughter - same time . Same price each. But is this discrimination? For me to buy a return to London during peak time I get no discount on a return ticket using my senior railcard, paying £36.20 - if I buy 2 singles I can get the cost down to £33.20. Yet my…

I guess it was in the T+C's but I gave it a few weeks as know post can be slow sometimes and was my fault it was just a few days over 30 but didn't realise. Just wondering if there was anything I could do outside of speak to CS again?
