Refund for a cancelled train
If your train is cancelled at least 48 hours in advance and we email you to let you know, you can use your current ticket to travel on the two services before or after your train that are run by the same train company as your original booking.
Flexible tickets such as Off-Peak and Anytime tickets also offer further flexibility allowing you to travel at various times of the day. Remember to check the conditions of your ticket in case you can only travel with a certain operator/ route.
If your train is cancelled within 48 hours of departure, you can use your current ticket to….
- Advance Singles – you can use your current ticket to travel on the service directly before or after your train that are run by the same train company as your original booking.
