In the north of England where the OP’s situation occurred I doubt you will get anywhere calling it a “chara banc”. Charabang is correct up here ;) Doc Copper PS: Not a native southerner here... |
Or in the East End of London (where I come from!) it will be a 'chara' as in 'what time's the chara coming?'

If you bought ticket with amex card platinum or British Airways you have options to claim train ticket. My Ms had flight cancellation and was revoked next day but she bought train ticket first class and amex returned this expenses

I thought in the USA Economy is referred to as ‘coach’ because on US carriers the experience resembles traveling by a ‘motor coach’...and Brits traveling domestically by flight in the USA refer to the airport experience as akin to waiting in a bus station. |

Funny, as a Yank I read it as coach class, as in economy class ... . However, I see OP was referring to what people on this side of the pond would call a bus.

As it turns out, the issue resolved itself for the OP and I would have agreed with your sensible advice on how to proceed otherwise but I would have thought that "fairly strong" is something of an under-statement. I just cannot see how a coach journey could remotely be described as "comparable transport conditions" to a flight. If that were regarded as "comparable transport conditions", what exactly would it require for a mode of transport not to be regarded as comparable?
I've pleaded with them to just give me a rental car - no, can't do that sir, they have zero flexibility, madness as it would save them the hotel bill. I've taken to using the DM function on Twitter now to get confirmation they will pay for such action each time now, those guys are usually good. |
There is a bus company in the US called Coach USA

I often start my jourenys to N. Yorks. on a Stagecoach company and end it on a First company (they also run a lot of school busses in the USA). |

Formally BA treat claims for train travel on "case by case" basis. So if you are Gold cardholder and there weren't many alternatives you would probably get that back, but as an alternative to getting your airfare back. BA have been known to decline train claims particularly from those without status, however they equally tend to relent if they start getting CEDR or MCOL paper work, it isn't anything they want to defend in court. I suspect in this case they would have allowed this, particularly if it saved them a hotel bill.
