Lot of angry season ticket holders in that Tweet. My partner is in the process of being made redundant so won't be renewing but can't claim anything. Its not a great system really. Tell your partner to claim compensation and if / when it is refused send a letter before action and then a small claims court case claiming discrimination against a customer who did not renew / is not renewing season ticket.

I had the same problem when I retired in 2005 was due compensation for poor punctuality for my previous annual ticket. I claimed but didn't get anything. Should have followed it up.
Wonder how many millions TOCs▸ have saved by not paying out when you don't renew?
I still very glad I'm not commuting although 2005 was bad, in hindsight it seems nowhere near as bad as currently.
Used to reckon over 5 late 2 out 10 journeys in the week usually coming home. Especially when you wanted to go out afterwards!
Now it seems you are lucky to get to and from Padd

Whatever was done today clearly wasn't sufficient. There's 5 Hayes/Reading stopping services late this evening cancelled due to "urgent repairs to the track".

From journeycheck..

Paddington/Ealing Broadway to Southall has a gap of… 1 HOUR 45 MINUTES this evening! a station with over 2.5 million passengers per year! Now that the 2142 has left Paddington, the next train is at 2327. The 2203, 2227, 2233, 2303 and 2312 are all cancelled. The 2210 and 2259 from Paddington are running but they don't call at Southall normally and they will not stopping there additionally either. Even the three stations east of Reading with less than 300,000 passengers per year have a better service this evening Acton Main Line has the 2259. Iver has the 2210 and 2259 (2227 cancelled). While Taplow has buses from Slough due to engineering work. The other station with less than a million passengers per year is Langley and that has the same service level as Iver.

I have to say, (and I know it's a tiddler!) but I think Taplow station has improved since TfL» have taken over - the ticket machine works, the ticket office is invariably open during its advertised hours, and generally it seems to be tidier and better organised (and that is not a reflection on Ted, the previous incumbent who always did his best!) Hey, we've now even got TWO temporary footbridges to choose from!

Both high enough to go over overhead catenary too? Please send one 100 miles west - I know someone who would like one of them
