Well I'm claiming day 20 Monday and day12 Tuesday although I did spend money. Once again I suffered a train being over an hour late but this time it was on Monday outward journey and return on Tuesday. So I bought refreshments but my delay repay from GWR will more than cover it so I'm not counting it as me spending money as it wasn't my money. Getting fed up of trains.2
