Frequently Asked Questions
How much compensation can I get for a delayed train?
Under EU Regulation 2021/782, you can claim 25% of the ticket price for delays of 60-119 minutes, and 50% for delays of 120 minutes or more. If your train is cancelled, you are entitled to a full refund.
What is the minimum train delay for compensation?
Under EU rules, the minimum delay is 60 minutes. However, UK operators use the Delay Repay scheme, which may cover delays from 15 or 30 minutes depending on the operator.
Do I get a full refund if my train is cancelled?
Yes. If your train is cancelled, you are entitled to a full refund of the ticket price. You also have the right to rerouting to your destination at the earliest opportunity.
Does force majeure affect my compensation?
Force majeure only applies to extreme weather, natural disasters, and pandemics. Staff strikes and technical failures do NOT qualify as force majeure — you can still claim compensation for these.
Is there a minimum compensation amount?
Yes. Under EU Regulation 2021/782, operators may set a minimum threshold of EUR 4. If your calculated compensation is below this, the minimum applies.
How long do I have to claim train delay compensation?
The deadline varies by operator, but is typically 1-3 months from the date of travel. We recommend claiming as soon as possible to avoid missing the deadline.
