Can I sue when someone walks slowly in front of me on a narrow pavement?

I want £47575745.

How dare a piece of machinery fail. Simply not good enough IMO.

Quick get a breif and take them to the cleaners.

Was this your first thought?

"This train is currently on fire. I'm still on board. I may die. I think I'll ask OcUK how much compensation I should receive, while still on board the burning locomotive."

Nice.

Unless you are actually a flame, I would expect no "compo".

EDIT: Maybe a refund on the ticket.

Are they giving out free stuff to ease your discomfort? Or did you miss that while posting on here?

im sorry, but you sir are a ******* idiot for asking a question like that :z

a train on fire where it could de-rail, people could be injured or killed, and all you care about is how much money you will get for it? ....

one Railway will give you at least 50% of your single journey train fare [or equivalent] as compensation if you are delayed by 30 mins or more. They double it if it is more than an hour.

EDIT: I recently travelled to London with my girlfriend and we were diverted causing us to be just over an hour late. We have applied for compensation (they have compensation booklets to fill in and send back by freepost). one will compensation through National Rail vouchers.

Well I think he got thoroughly owned.

Serves you right, too, it's moaning ******* like you that annoy me more than anything more. That said, if you really are delayed by that much, and you don't have the heart to accept that mechanical equipment does, occasionally, fail, and that it's not necessarily the companys fault, go ahead and try to claim your ticket back.

£47575745 would be the regular amount of 'compo' you should recieve in this situation.

Many monies will be placed into your account.

We just need your bank account details and sort code, so we can wire you the monies directly.

Should get somewhere in the region of £47575744 I would imagine.
