16:32 train cancelled : Sat Feb 13, 2010 11:19 pm  

Had to fork out for a taxi with 3 Wire fans. £25 from Leeds. Daylight robbery. Anyone else get roughed up by this? Worth an email? Or will they just laugh off my complaints?

Anything's worth an e-mail....

Haha would never of got there in time. The train was cancelled at like 16:50. There's no way a 166 or 163 would of made it to Cas in time and then to ground. I've had poop experiences with Arriva buses before too!

Never heard of either bus so it's academic really.

189 is Leeds to wakefield via cas but it straight through takes around half an hour at the most, used to catch either of them when I was working

Yes, we got completely done over by this too. Went with my friend who is disabled, setting off from Huddersfield at 3:45pm, expected to be in Cas at 4:50pm.

Got to Leeds earlyish (around 4:10pm) and got on train to Cas only to find out it was cancelled. We then had to wait until the 17:16 train to Cas (which was delayed by 7 mins or so) so didn't get in to Cas until 17:42.

Made it down to the ground with 9 mins on the clock gone.

Daughter had a problem with arriva her bus missed and she was late for college.
So she sent a snotty emailed to them and she got 2 vouchers for free travel.
So i reckon it's worth an email.
