When train services are disrupted by issues like power cuts, passengers often have rights to compensation for delays or cancellations. The specific rules vary by train operator and the length of the delay. While the immediate cause here was a power cut, the train companies affected, such as Avanti West Coast and Northern, would typically handle these compensation claims.
