Do any of you know if there's any kind of industry-wide protocol for when First Class accommodation is unavailable owing to the use of a RRB, or thanks to the rolling stock being used? Is there any kind of refund available?
Seems like my journey down next Saturday is going to be a mix of bus and Class 321 from Witham onwards... yay!

Re: Rail Replacement Buses
Taken from the national rail conditions of carriage, section G, part 38.
"38. Travelling in standard class accommodation with a first class ticket
If you have a first class ticket (or the equivalent) and the first class accommodation (or the equivalent) shown in the National Rail Timetable is not available in any train you travel in, you may claim a refund of the difference in price between the first class and the standard class ticket for the relevant part of your journey."
Not sure how this applies to you, if First Class is available for PART of your journey, best advice would be, pick up a Greater Anglia comments form and stick it in, if you don't ask, you don't get

I'm not from Essex, Sam! And I certainly don't pull the emergency alarm in the disabled toilet every five minutes!Sam wrote:People such as yourself you mean...

I reckon the interesting bit will be the Billericay - London (and vice versa) legs of each journey, where there'll be about 10 First Class seats available as opposed to the usual three coaches worth!
