Firstly I'm not a train spotter. I'm trying to claim back for the non-existent service on my line (Thameslink Bedford - Brighton) for the month of January 2009.

Their online compensation asks for dates etc. I always get the same train from home and back from work.

Does anyone know if there is a website that details historical train arrival times to facilitate this excercise!

None of my business but have you waited a year before claiming?

Ah, a fellow sufferer.
Someone has gone for the obvious pun and set up www.firstcrapitalconnect.co.uk
Helpfully there's a forum on there where people list which train was late, facilitating maximum claims against First Group!
Don't know if Network Rail or the Office of the Rail Regulator (ORR) publish punctuality stats (they should, the signalling / train management system would output the data easily enough).

I work for Network Rail, I will have a look to see if historical date is available when I am back at work on Monday.
