My LNER train was 20 minutes late. Can I claim Delay Repay?

Last checked Against LNER's Delay Repay terms
Short answer

No. LNER pays from 30 minutes late at your destination (Delay Repay 30). At 30 to 59 minutes you get 50% of a Single or 25% of a Return.

At 20 minutes, that's under LNER's 30 minutes: nothing to claim.

The rule

LNER runs Delay Repay 30: the delay is measured at your destination against the timetable on the day, and nothing is paid under 30 minutes.

Check before you claim

  • A missed connection counts: the delay is measured at your final destination.
  • If your train was cancelled and you took an earlier train that wasn't disrupted, LNER doesn't pay.
  • Claim within 28 days of the journey.
