Small amounts involved so you should claim compensation for cancellation £220 plus reimbursement of purchased breakfast and lunch at or near the airport.
Yeah they might come up with some excuse about exceptional circs meaning they were allowed to cancel at less than 14 days ahead without having to pay compensation – but claim anyway – Why do their work for them? Just claim.
Meanwhile look up expertflyer which for a short time should show the officially submitted cancellation reason and any other source you can find. But claim all promptly meanwhile. If they deny then their reason is not always true btw so make your own judgment only if they do but just in case prepare now.
Train is for insurance and that and your extra mileage, timewasting and inconvenience is why the flat rate compo exists.
