Title: 4hr 57 Minute Journey from Hereford to London Paddington
Post by: supersonic on January 08, 2008, 14:56:38
Ridculous, was supposed to catch 1519 Hereford to London Service, you all guess what.. cancelled !!!, so had to get 1534 London Midland Service to Worcester, and then change there was advised no service until 1721, so had to wait around for another 45mins, left Worcester at 1726, and got into London 17 Mins late, at 2016.....

but i should have been in London at 1831, if First could operate a service worth paying for !!, so it should of only took me only 2hrs 12 mins, but instead a massive 4hrs 57mins

I have sent off my complaint demanding my money back !!..

replies please

many thanks !

So you got on a L/M sevice and had to wait for 45 min, after your inability to count has been adjusted you lost about an hour and then you lost about 15 min on route, good for the Hereford line, so i reckon the whole journey took you about 4 hrs.......a lot of people get delayed much more than that
