Will I get a discount when I renew my Season ticket?
Customer charter discounts
Train Operators are set performance targets for delays and
cancellations by the Government. They use these to set a trigger
level for discounting Season tickets that last a month or more when
they are renewed. This information should be published on posters
at your local station, in the Train Company's Passenger Charter and
can often be found on their website. Trainline receive this
information directly from the Association of Train Operating
Companies and will automatically apply any discount due to your
ticket on renewal.
Void days or lost days
Your Train Operator from time to time is required to reimburse you
for major disruption to your train service. You must have a valid
ticket for that day(s). This information is distributed to all
Train Operators by the Association of Train Operating Companies.
Each Train Operator has its own policy and procedures for
reimbursement. We therefore advise you to contact your local
station or your Train Operator's Customer Services.
