Your train left on time. You still arrived 22 minutes late. Most passengers never claim because they checked the departure board, not the arrival. Here is the rule that changes everything.

The Student Railcard gave you 1/3 off your train fare. Delay Repay is calculated on the price you actually paid. Here is what that means for your compensation — and why it is still worth claiming every time.

Every January, your season ticket costs more. What most commuters don't realise is that their Delay Repay entitlement on every qualifying delay also increases by the same percentage — automatically. Here is what the updated maths looks like.

Hybrid workers often assume Delay Repay is for daily commuters with season tickets. It isn't. Every qualifying journey counts — and occasional commuters on day returns may be owed more per trip than they think.

ORR research shows 28% of eligible passengers miss their Delay Repay claim because they forgot or ran out of time. That's not a willpower problem — it's a timing problem. Here's the psychology, and the fix.

£6,050 ÷ 464 = £13.04. That is what Greater Anglia charges you for a single leg. When it arrives late, the maths works the other way too — and most passengers never run it.

ORR data shows Greater Anglia arrives on time in fewer than 3 out of 4 journeys. Behind the headline figures, the real picture is worse — and most passengers never see it.

Every Greater Anglia delay starts a strict 28-day compensation window. ORR research shows roughly 70% of eligible passengers never claim — not because they can't, but because time and friction do the train company's job for them.
