What about people who've been out on Saturday, but whose trains (or
****ing replacement coaches) arrive late back into London?

All the operators are guilty, but thinking specifically of Virgin Trains
West Coast mainline, it is not unlikely for trains from Glasgow,
Liverpool etc. to be delayed by more than an hour or two throughout the
course of their journey?

The /last/ thing I want to do when I've been travelling for about six
hours is to have to extended my journey further via a combination of
night buses to get to my destination.


When I was delayed by 1.5 hours coming into Euston on the last train and
so had missed the last tube Virgin paid for a taxi back to Clapham for me.
I thought that was standard.



When I was delayed by 4 hours on a ****ing rubbish coach, they said there
would be someone there at Euston to arrange taxis. There wasn't.

We all had to arrange and pay for our own taxis, and I'm still waiting to be
reimbursed.
