Just spoke to Scrum Down Under and the owner s said hes had numerous calls asking for a refund for last nights coach.
I paid the coach company in full last night, I havent heard from them since on this matter, after all they still had to pay their driver and then the cost of fuel etc, however if they do refund us anything I will make sure those on the coach last night will get discount off the next one.
Can everyone please respect the coach company as theyve been good with us and are putting on a coach for us walkers to get back from Widnes.
Thanks Lynda

Anyone who thinks LISA or the coach company should stand the cost of what happened should think about if they where on a flight which crashed into the sea or a mountain. These things happen it is tough but there it is.

If I was on a plane that crashed into the sea or a mountain I would expect at the very least a full refund

if not the airline would be recieving a very strongly worded letter about my uncomfortable flight

I would look at what other coach/travel operators do Lynda and take a stance from there, I'm only guessing but I would think if the journey had started but not finished due to the actions of a third party the coach company will want a full payment, as to where LISA stands then that is up to what other travel operators do, again I will guess at no repayment for the above reason. Perhaps now is a good time to reapraise the LISA role in travel?

It was a matter that was out of our hands last night. We can't expect a refund. It's just one of those things.

One of those things, nobody is obliged to offer a refund but I'm sure an arrangement could be made between LISA and the coach company.

Spoke to our mini bus driver when we found out what had happened he said he would of give us half our money back. Like he said the journey had already started and it was nobodys fault.

And now speaking of refunds, I'd got train tickets to Motherwell for the Hibs game on the 14th August and the game has now been shifted to the Sunday with said train tickets unrefundable

Least you can go toulouse game now

Surprisingly, that doesn't make me feel any better

thats only because he would have been half way there !

Find the guy that caused you to miss the match and ask him for your money back.

could you imagine if he was ready to jump because he was already in debt ......

You should have got Lynda to go up and toss him off

wouldnt most coach operators have insurance for things like this?

should be used to paying out then shouldnt he!

i cannot believe your all joking about someone whos tried to kill themselves

It's allowed because we dont know them... thats how humour works....

Shame on you mattj13

I know,

If you were like me and traveled a lot you would have a travel insurance that was over 12 months and not just your 2 weeks in Torri. If you did have this you would have been covered and could claim back your coach fare and ticket money had you bought it prior to the game. Oh and it is not much more to insure your travel for 12 months than the amount you pay the travel opperators for two weeks. I think I pay about £70 for the famlly.

Would the excess not be greater than £7?

Anyway, for that kind of money, and the circumstances that occured, I wouldn't embarrass myself in asking for a refund.

It's LISA running the travel for f##ks sake, not Richard Branson.

Maybe we should all walk back from Widnes to make up the money folk want back.

If folk are that desparate for their £7 back, post your names and address on here with a good reason why you think it reasonable to get your money back at the expense of LISA and I'll pay the money back to LISA myself.

Even had one bloke ring me today and demand his money back


It make you wonder why we bother eh, without LISA there wouldnt be any coaches for supporter s to go on, he was also going on about price of the coach being only a pound cheaper than the Barrow one, I told him we lost money on that one, as the price we was quoted ,no one would have paid it, so we,d have had no supporters there, and we d made money on the last two, so I offset that against the Barrow one.

I bet he didnt moan when it was free or subsidised did he?

Shithouse.

no he didnt
