What’s Enhanced Compensation?
While we’ll do everything we can to keep your commute moving, sometimes the unexpected puts us behind schedule. Our Delay Repay scheme compensates you for any journey delayed by 15 minutes or more.
If delays persist for several days running, season ticket holders are also entitled to Enhanced Compensation.
Enhanced Compensation may be payable in addition if a journey is delayed by 30 minutes or more on any 12 days in a business reporting period.
