Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
My ds is on different hols to me (at special residential school) so i arranged to go and stay with friends in Weymouth (so far so good) the day after i booked my ticket with the trainline, southwest trains announced they would go on strike.... so i waited till yesterday morning like i was told and then decided to cancel my ticket as no more news on strike being cancelled... i then booked my coach ticket(9 hours with a two hour stop in London) this morning after i sent my train ticket back i looked on SW trains website and read that they strike had been suspended[hmm} The first thing i did was make sure i could still get a refund on ticket i sent back(i can phew) then when i rang to cancel my coach ticket i was seven mins outside the cancellation limit! I started to panic but they have let me cancel it... so i am now awaiting two refunds and have booked myself another train ticket,,, my blood pressure is now skyhigh!! I cant drive... and its really put me off using public transport now!! Lets just hope nothing else happens before Monday!!! I am so so looking forward to a few days away and i know the train will be more comfortable than nine hours on a coach {and the toilets are slightly bigger on the train}
