My girlfriend who used the line every day and was greatly inconvenienced got
£50. I use the line occasionally and I got ... £50. Hmm, I see a pattern
emerging here!

There is supposed to be an appeals procedure, might be worth a try. I

t seems as though they are back tracking from what they said in February Re
: Refunds. May be they were trying to "Buy" everyone off and then realised
it was going to cost millions.

Try a little harder. That wasn't what I was intimating.

I realise that. But at least you could access the platforms to have a
shelter

I got £50 too, it arrived on Friday. How long was it out for, 10
weeks? It seems London Underground prices quality of life at £1 per
day. It seems if you start elsewhere in London and change to the
Central to go out of the centre, you get £50. I've heard of a £100
cheque being issued, but I don't know what kind of journey that was
for.
