UK’s South Western railway to provide free services for Thomas Cook customers

London, Sept. 23, 2019 (Sputnik/NAN) UK’s South Western Railway company said on Monday it would provide the customers of the bankrupted Thomas Cook company with free services.

Earlier on Monday, the Thomas Cook Group announced its compulsory liquidation following unsuccessful talks between the company’s stakeholders and potential new donors on terms of the firm’s recapitalisation and reorganisation.

The group includes the UK-based tour operator and airline by the same name.

All of the company’s bookings, including flights, were immediately canceled.

“Following the collapse of #ThomasCook, we are relaxing ticket restrictions for customers.

“If you are arriving back to the UK earlier or later than planned, your train ticket will be accepted with proof of your Thomas Cook booking.

“We will also accept tickets with other operators and we will not charge you a fee for a refund if you can no longer travel #ThomasCook,” South Western Railway wrote on its Twitter page.
