So all in all a frustrating and expensive trip home.

Uhhh, it's definitely not 150 quid... Although they have to pay you the train ticket. Also, per EU regulations they would have had to book you on the LX flight, space permitting.

Don't trust BA when it comes to compensation. I personally would've refused to go on a train anywhere else unless they hand me a ticket or voucher, and probably have recorded the person saying that they wouldn't put you on the next available flight (regardless of carrier).
