Rail refund call for Croydon commuters

Rail companies are facing calls for an extra two days to be added back on to their travelcards to compensate them for the lack of services on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Croydon Central MP Andrew Pelling has already written as a private citizen seeking compensation on his 7 day travelcard that expired on Christmas Day. Mr Pelling said he would rather pay that money to charity at Christmas or into the collection at church than pay the money into railway company profits.
