Enjoyed that my ticket was good for other times departing, was able to take a earlier train then originally needed. Saved my trip.

The train was cancelled due to a person committing suicide on the line. The replacement bus service was also delayed. I was due to meet guests (unaccompanied teenagers). By the time I eventually got to Stansted, they were understandably distraught
