Full steam ahead to a better consumer deal for Rail passengers

Helen Dewdney

Press release. It’s good news for rail passengers today, as their rights are boosted by the Consumer Rights Act, giving a much better deal on compensation for delays, cancellations and overcrowding. When the Consumer Rights Act 2015 was implemented on 1 st October last year, Sea, Rail and Air were made exempt from its conditions. In April last year the Government back-stepped and decided that from October 1st 2016 that Ferries and Airlines would also be included but had delayed Rail until 2017.
