Delay repay estimate

This is a learning calculator, not official rail advice. Real operators set their own rules, deadlines, and evidence requirements.

Press calculate to build the case.
A good claim is part maths and part organisation: keep tickets, record times, and read the operator's exact policy.

Time detective

Change the actual arrival to cross midnight. Can you explain why the delay is still positive?

Rule comparison

Try the same 32-minute delay under each rule. Which passenger policy is most generous?

Money choice

If you save 60% of each claim, how many similar claims would build a ยฃ25 rail adventure fund?

Fair split

Increase travellers. Does the total claim change? What changes per person?
