Dear Sir or Madam

Last Thursday I traveled on the 8:40 am train from Glasgow to London King's Cross and I was very unhappy with the service provided by your company.

The train was forty minutes late leaving Glasgow and although the guard apologized we were not given any reasons for the delay. We then had further delays when the train crew ( 乘务人员 )changed at Preston and had to wait another thirty minutes. As a result I missed my flight from London Healthrow to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.

What's more the service on the train was also very poor. The trip took over five hours. Unluckily there was no restaurant car on the train and only a bar with soft drinks. Worst of all the air conditioning broke down halfway through the trip and it got hotter and hotter in the train. However there was no apology for this. And before we reached King's Cross the temperature was over 40 degree.

In view of the poor service I felt I am entitled to compensation. ( 有权索赔 )

I look forward to hearing you.

                                   Yours

                                   David Robertson
