Heathrow-Leeds route cancellation

Dear Alex, Last January I booked a £69 Bmi flight between London Heathrow and Leeds to attend a conference on April 27. I was flying into Heathrow that morning from Cairo with British Airways as Bmi"s schedules on this route were inconvenient. On April 8, Bmi emailed me to say its Heathrow-Leeds route had been cancelled. As an alternative, it would either refund my fare or book me on to its Manchester flight at 1600 (almost three hours later than my original flight) and provide a taxi from there to Leeds. I pointed out that I would now be arriving five hours later than planned, and asked if Bmi could instead book me on to an earlier British Airways flight to Manchester or pay for me to go London-Leeds by train. Bmi refused, so I paid £116 for a London-Leeds train ticket, which got me there at 1535. Now Bmi will not refund the cost of my train fare. Is it acting correctly? Nick McHard, Cairo
