Because my flight was delayed, and the Gatwick airport shuttle got stuck, I missed my train by 5 minutes and had to purchase a brand new ticket. I feel that I should have been allowed to use that same ticket being that it was not my fault that I missed my train

Train trip to Havant was very good, rail replacement quite tiring
