Train not stopping at advertised station; can I Get a refund?
I pay over £24 a day to travel to work by train. My destination station stop is timetabled and duly announced on the departure announcements and on the train itself.

Requested a Delay Repay Refund from Thameslink Railway. So far I have received 10 emails telling me my claim has been declined.
