Can I cancel a trainline advance ticket booking?
If you have booked a ticket type named ‘Advance Single’ or ‘First Advance Single’ you can change the date and time of your journey and buy tickets for the correct journey and receive a refund for the first tickets. Advance tickets are not refundable if you are not travelling anymore, or travelling on a different route.
Will I get a refund if my train is delayed?

If you experience an unplanned disruption which delays your journey for more than 30 minutes, you may be eligible for compensation. Find your train company here to find make a claim.
