A lot of the train companies we work with can offer you some compensation if your train was delayed by over 15 minutes.

Why you might not get compensation


If your delay was because of a planned disruption, or an emergency timetable being used, then compensation’s not on the cards unfortunately. You might not be paid compensation for delays caused by things outside of the rail industry’s control either. But, each company might have a different policy, so it’s better to check with them direct. For a quick guide at single ticket compensations please see the table below.

Check the Train Operator (TOC) below to find out more. If you’re not sure who your TOC is, take a look at your ticket details in My bookings on our website or "My tickets" on our app.
 
Compensations below are all based on a single ticket. Return tickets are half or compensated for your affected journey. For more in-depth information on this go direct to Train Operators (TOC) website by clicking on the TOC below.
