On 15th July Euston to Glasgow service terminted at Lancaster. Folk left to own devices on the platform.
I purchased a ticket to Edinburgh and managed to squeeze onto an Edinburgh train. As this train drew into Preston it was annonced a Glasgow train was 10 minutes behind the Edinburgh service, which I got on at Preston. All very chaotic.

The 10.48 train turned out to be bus…

The 10.48 train turned out to be bus transfer only. Coach turned up about 20 mins late. Driver full of excuses then left the bus for 20 mins. He returned saying the delay was due to a disabled passenger wanting to board (who never appeared). He left the bus again and returned at 11.40 (I’d been waiting over an hour for a 6 min train journey at this stage). His next line was - “we leave in 8 minutes”. Precisely the time of the next ‘Huddersfield’ train - 11.48. Clearly, the delay was manufactured to only make one coach journey for the 2 sets of travellers. The 10.48 travellers treated like cattle and made to wait an hour. Disgraceful treatment. No duty of care. No respect.

We bought tickets in Italy months…

We bought tickets in Italy months before going there.

Due to rails being renovated we had to cancel our booking for the whole family, because the train would not be able to take our family to the airport in due time.

For some reason only the 2 adults and not our 3 children could be refunded. This means instead of getting 450 dkk back we got just 200 dkk back. This is hardly fair as the train can’t transport us according to the planned time schedule….
