Remember to claim compensation when that happens!Not bus replacement but I’ve ended up riding often enough when trains are cancelled / long delays
I got about £100 worth of rail vouchers when a train to Cornwall broke down and we were stuck on it for hours waiting for a replacement engine to be sent out.
A couple of years ago I had to ride for 2 hours to get home after a long ride in the Ribble Valley. I got a one way Northern Trains voucher for that. I could use that to get as far as Newcastle. I have not used it yet but intend to this year. I will go to somewhere a decent distance from home (say 100 km to 100 miles) and ride back.
An elderly Scottish relative was provided with a free taxi to get from Glasgow to Oban after a landslip blocked the railway line. That is about a 160 km/100 mile drive!If you have paid for a booking for yourself and your bike then you have a contract with the train operating company to get you and your bike to your destination.
Our son has stood his ground and eventually been supplied with a taxi big enough to take him and his bike.
