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

Not sure if any bus…

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've heard that the lifts at Central and Moorfields are quite small, so I'm concerned I won't be able to fit the bike into them. Does…
