However in your case they seem to have treated you the same as if you told them it clashed with a pre-booked holiday.
You might be better off trying to ask a judge directly, I don’t imagine you’re likely to get sufficient consideration from the cynical and jaded back office staff.

I just got an email saying I have been excused. But as you say they might just put my name back into the puddin mixer and I will probably be called up again in a month's time.

Sounds like you went to a crown court. My local court is a sherrif court so trials are normally only 5 working days max.
