Right, I've had train companies put me in a taxi, and just eat the price of a taxi to wherever because if you want to sell tickets to travel to X, and then oops you can't get me to X well, I didn't buy your "regret" that you can't do that - I bought travel to X, so if that's still possible you'd better make it happen and too bad if that's not profitable.

I got an email from the train company that according to their records I had a delay and they put a link in it to a online form to get my money back.

I was positively surprised at their proactive communication. The money was on my account within the week!
