Explained in plain English

Can I get a refund for delays?

Yes, passengers affected by delays or cancellations, like those on Southeastern, are usually entitled to compensation. This often comes in the form of a refund or alternative transport, such as the London Buses and Trams offered today. The amount depends on the length of the delay and the ticket type, under the National Rail Conditions of Travel.
