A Southern commuter has managed to get a refund of £2400 (50% of the ticket cost) from his credit card company (American Express) for "non delivery of services". It seems that having kept records showing high numbers of delayed or cancelled trains the card company agreed to a partial refund...

I experienced similar when a rail replacement bus from Farnham to Farnborough got delayed and so missed the connection at Farnborough which similar to the first post, was not held.

Lytham and Witham is two stations I've had NRES get confused with.
