That refund thing REALLY needs to be made cumulative number of minutes delay over the length of your season ticket. Current setup just lets them take the piss.
Early Thameslink from Brighton to London Bridge was cancelled this morning due to 'shortage of train crew'. All London Bridge trains seem to arrive up to 15 mins late now, appears mainly due to congestion due to lower numbers of available platforms. No direct late trains past East Croydon in the evening either. Only 4 years to go before the work is finished :-(
Inspired by [MENTION=236]Papa Lazarou[/MENTION] I did my first Delay Repay submissions a few weeks back. I'd forgotten all about it and, this morning, £16.20 of National Rail vouchers dropped through the letterbox.
Were there any DelayRepay-able trains on Wednesday or Thursday?

I dont think Ive had one eligible delay repay this year, lots of 25 - ~30 minutes late journeys.

Good news or not if you travel in FIRST class but no more on board trolleys or refreshments on Southern services from Monday
Wouldn't happen in Germany

Good. Never seen the point of them for such short journeys, all they seem to do is get in the way. if people really can't go an hour without stuffing their faces with something, there are heaps of places to eat and every main station

Definitely this.
Or at least be able to claim for the delay like Southern can from Network Rail.

Really? I'm glad they did this after my Dad retired. He's still ranting about the withdrawal of the buffet car.

Up until now, Southern seemed to be pretty adept at judging which trains would be just about sparsely populated enough to push a trolley through. Now they've patently decided that there's not enough profit to bother even trying. Just about sums up the disgusting state of the railways really. They've got that captive golden goose lifer commuter mass market, why should they even give a shit about treating them like individual human beings? Not sure who I blame the most: the swine rail companies exploiting the commuter cash cow, or the commuter cash cow happy to continually take up the arse from the swine rail companies. In the end they probably deserve each other in the absence of any kind of meaningful dissent.
