Travelodge, how hard can it be?

[mwrpoole]

I payed with a debit card, as there was like £3 extra for credit card, so doing it the cheapest possible way has cost me in the long term.

Same with the train i brought an advance ticket which is also non-refundable.

don't worry too much about not taking their insurance, the T&C's are so limited I doubt you would have got anything back anyway.

Maybe, but did anyone even consider there was a chance of this game not being played before yesterday?

Exactly i booked this as soon as we found out it was 'Tuesday' when it was still quite mild.

Why don't you still go, just stay 1 extra night in B&B which will prob cost about £20? Assuming of course that you can take the extra day off work!

Go up tonight and make a short break of it

Would cost £50+ extra just for train, and also have work at 11.30, but i am tempted too go up hmm..

As others have said, if you are planning on going anyway and therefore paying for the second night, I'd have gone up today - could do a day out in Chester, head up into Snowdonia (beautiful when it's frosty) or of course just hit the pubs in Wrexham bright and early!

This is slightly different but I once had to change a booking I made with travelodge. Was charged a five pound admin fee online.Later complained that I felt it was unfair and after a few e mails got a refund. Always worth a try- even after the event. Just be persistant.

Would/could/should Annual Travel Insurance cover something like this?

Probably not - I thought mine would, but on reading the small print it is only for European travel OUTSIDE the UK.

It was very cheap though.

Forecast was always for a cold spell starting on Saturday. They got it right.

I'm noticing a trend here: Cheap train tickets, cheap hotel room, cheap travel insurance...

the lowest price isn't usually the best value XD

I was gonna suggest travel insurance though, a decent policy will cover you for UK trips so if you've got an annual policy (and a lot of people may have it as part of a bank account without even realising that) check the terms to see if you can recover your costs.
