Tube Strike 02-04 Nov & Refunds

A freind has asked me what the score is re refunds for weekly travel cards on the tube. She just bought a weekly card without knowing there was going to be a strike- she is in Richmond and needs to be on the Ladder for work, so a real schlep.

I had a look on the TFL web site to see what they refund and what they do not:
"When we don't refund
- If the delay is beyond our control such as security alerts, third party action or bad weather "

I assume Crow and his crew count as "third party action", I see they are not offering a refund for previous strikes.

Any thoughts?
