| COMMUTER SURVIVAL: letting other people down because your train is late is part of commuting life |
Commuters will often
pay huge amounts of money for their season tickets. Mine is £5,200 a year, all paid through my net salary which means
I have to earn just under £9,000 a year just to cover my train fare to work AND it's going to go up again even though
I haven't had a pay rise for two years. This fact seems to be completely lost on train staff and TOC executives. They
just don't seem to understand this is why we all get so angry when the service is poor. And yet we're to blame as
we don't officially complain enough, just moan and do nothing. Very British. If we collectively registered more complaints
and refunds were more frequent, surely someone high up might act? We can hope.
Survival
tips Trainrage.com has a really good section on getting your money back when your service doesn't deliver as it should.
Also included is how to get money back on delayed tubes. Apparently anything over 15 minutes on the tube counts as a delay,
so what are you waiting for?
