Question 1

Does EU train compensation cover my journey?

Accepted Answer

Regulation (EU) 2021/782 covers domestic and international rail journeys within the EU. Some Member States exempt certain domestic, regional, or historical services from parts of the regulation — check the operator's Conditions of Carriage to confirm.

Question 2

How much can I claim for a delayed train?

Accepted Answer

You may be entitled to 25% of your ticket price for a 60–119 minute delay, or 50% for a delay of 120 minutes or more.

Question 3

How long do I have to submit a train delay claim?

Accepted Answer

Just 3 months from the date of the journey — far shorter than the 2–6 year deadline typical for flight compensation claims, so don't wait.

You may have refund and compensation rights under EU passenger law.
