We've listened to customer feedback and launched our new Charter Compensation system, making the process even simpler and faster to get your compensation. You can track your claim, follow it's progress, manage your payment preferences and check the status of all your current and past claims - giving you more control than ever before.
You are entitled to claim compensation in line with our Passenger Charter and National Rail Conditions of Travel if you are delayed by 60 minutes or more on any of our services. The total amount of compensation will depend on the total length of your delay and also the type and cost of the ticket for your journey.
For compensation to be considered, your claim must be received by our Customer Relations team within 28 days of you completing the relevant journey. To process your request, we need information about your tickets and fellow passengers if you are claiming for more than one ticket.
