Are You Entitled?
Passengers will be entitled to receive compensation under the following conditions:
- If your journey is delayed between 30 and 59 minutes, we will pay compensation to the value of 50% of the cost of a single ticket or 50% of either portion of a return ticket (meaning either the outward or return leg of the journey).
- If your journey is delayed between 60 and 119 minutes, we will pay compensation to the value of 100% of the cost of a single ticket or 100% of either portion of a return ticket.
- If your journey is delayed by more than 119 minutes, we will pay compensation to the full value of the price paid for a return journey. Holders of single tickets will also be compensated with the value of a return ticket for their journey.
- The same compensation arrangements will apply to weekly, monthly and annual tickets. For these tickets, compensation will be calculated based on the proportional daily cost of the price paid for the ticket.
