Glad things are going well for you. Those of us who don't discriminate against certain forms of transport judge each case on its individual merits, rather than simply deciding guilt based on who was using what transport mode, and it looks as though you're certainly entitled to compensation here. (BTW I wasn't implying that you discriminate against certain forms of transport; I only meant the usual car-hating suspects like Chapman. That was probably obvious but I thought I'd point it out just in case.)
