You might receive some money back for the ticket if it is a huge delay, otherwise nothing.

I'll ignore the fact that 'compo' is a pathetic word that makes you sound like a regular The Sun buyer and help anyway. I mean seriously, a slang word for 'compensation', grrrr.

If the delay is more than 2 hours, you'll receive the equivilent value of the portion of the ticket you are using in Rail Travel Vouchers.

I think it's shocking that trains can catch fire. They obviously don't put nearly enough effort into running them properly. Any passenger who is ever delayed when using public transport should recieve a minimum of £480 compensation.

STOP MOANING!!!! You're probably as likely to be delayed in your car as on the train. If you don't like trains, don't use them, you don't need bloody compensation for everything.

Don't be so pathetic. It happens, why should you win a ****ing prize for being late to somewhere?

I would expect to receive an apology via a tannoy style announcement (not a personal apology just to me of course

)
