Delay because Returned to a Different Airport

Options
We arranged a trip to Oman on BA/Qatar. For the return leg we booked a  flight arriving LGatwick at 13.15 from Qatar. Just before we flew Qatar resheduled the flight so that it returned at the same time to Heathrow. We are a 3 hour car journey from London so drove to Gatwick and parked the car there.We then returned to Heathrow and transferred to Gatwick. The transfer took just over 4 hours and we have proof of this by way of the coach tickets.
Qatar have confirmed they recheduled for "operational reasons" and have offered to pay our extra travel costs. We have said fine but also asked for compensation for the delay.Should Qatar also pay this.
The resheduled flight was on time but to a different airport.
We have searched for a similar situation with no success. Has anyone had a similar experience or know what our rights are.

    You can ask but QR are not that generous on compensating for ex DOH delays.  At best they may throw you a few Avios.
