	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/04/2019 answer text <p>The Department requires operators of new franchises to provide automated Delay Repay compensation processes that make claiming swift and simple and is working with the rail industry and the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) to deliver more automated claims processes across all DfT-let franchises. The Delay Repay compensation scheme has now been rolled out to all but one of these franchises. Since announcing ‘one-click’ compensation in October 2018, the Government has also introduced a requirement for new franchises to introduce simple one-click automated claims systems, available via smartphones and smartcard registration, to make it easier for passengers to claim compensation when they have suffered delays.</p><p> </p><p>In practice, train operating companies work with one another to ensure that the Delay Repay compensation scheme works in an interoperable way between franchises. For example, if a passenger submits their claim for compensation to an operator other than the one responsible for the delay, then the operator receiving the claim should forward this to the one that was responsible for the delay and advise the passenger that they have done this.</p><p> </p><p>We can advise that South Western Railway (SWR)’s compensation offering was improved earlier this month with the announcement of Automated Delay Repay, which is a new simpler way of claiming compensation for Season ticket holders using SWR Touch smartcards and for holders of Advance tickets purchased through SWR’s website:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.southwesternrailway.com/contact-and-help/refunds-and-compensation/automated-delay-repay" target="_blank">https://www.southwesternrailway.com/contact-and-help/refunds-and-compensation/automated-delay-repay</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 26/04/2019 10:08:36 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
