answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2018 answer text <p>It is absolutely right that passengers are compensated for the disruption they have suffered. We have worked with GTR to establish a special compensation scheme, funded by industry, which is now being delivered. Over £15 million has been paid out so far to over 60,000 passengers. This is in addition to the normal delay repay scheme which, on GTR, compensates passengers for any delay of 15 minutes or more. This compensation provides the equivalent of up to 8% of the cost of an annual season ticket for those most severely impacted.</p><p> </p><p>This compensation is more effective and targeted than a blanket 3.1% fares freeze, and benefits passengers more. This scheme means, for example, that a commuter from St Albans buying a monthly season ticket will have received around £350 in compensation, rather than saving around £120 on the cost of their season ticket.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 11/12/2018 17:21:11 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
