The club's vehicle, which had been shared with various other charity groups, was reportedly stolen on Wednesday, January 11.

During their trip, the group travelled to Blackfriars station, ate lunch on the Southbank and visited the Tate Modern.

A spokesperson for Govia Thameslink Railway said at the time: "A group of people with learning difficulties who are members of The Daylight Club, a St Albans-based social club for disabled people, took a train trip to London today with tickets courtesy of Thameslink.

"The group travelled to Blackfriars station, had lunch on the Southbank and then went to the Tate Modern.

"Thameslink helped organise the journey to help club members gain experience and confidence in travelling by train.

"The free tickets were provided just after the club suffered the loss of its minibus, which was stolen in January."
