  I would just like wifi that works, electricity that works and the advertised food offer. The breakfast service has been unavailable on almost every service recently due to staff absence and curry Thursday may as well be called no curry Thursday as they have run out or have no catering crew on board. That said have had very few delay repays in past 12 months.

    I got an East Coast delay repay on Friday! On an early morning York train tomorrow so will see that they are doing for breakfast.

    Booked Economy up to York on Friday lunchtime due to cost (very short notice booking) and then got sent a £20 upgrade voucher by email. I managed to get them to waive the £20 for my daughter so that worked out well. No food of any sort, apart from cake, on the way back but the refund will clearly soften the blow (and I had a huge lunch at the Royal York hotel!).

      I’ve found VTEC to be very proactive re delay/repay, telling customers and handing out cards.

  I won one of the prizes in the Telegraph Travel survey competition in 2013. My prize was a luxury week for 2 on a PADI dive yacht, sailing either in Komodo National Park or Raja Ampat, Indonesia. No flights included. This was around the same time I got hooked by the points bug. Our revenue Qatar flights almost instantly gave us BA silver, but our free luxury 7 day holiday turned into a 3 week 12K trip to include Orangutangs in Borneo and SCUBA diving in Lombok. But what an amazing 3 weeks, a total of 13 flights including some on some very suspect domestic airlines.

  They emailed me a gift of free lounge access, anytime even if not taking a train, for 3 months.

  Not that useful to me really, but at least they are experimenting.

  OT curve. Has anyone been charged for going over the £200 ATM limit? I took £100 out today having already done £200 this month. It seems to have gone through as £100.

    No

      I thought some folk using it abroad had been when they went over? Personally I’d be prepared to be charged (and certainly would have no grounds for complaint if so!) but enjoy the current setup – I must admit I have been making less use of that aspect that I should!
