Can anyone tell me what delays (if any!) qualify for a discount on a monthly season ticket between Oxford and London? I've been delayed several times - and sometimes quite seriously - but can't find anything on the GWR^▸ website about making a claim.

Thanks

Any season ticket longer than a week doesn't qualify for a discount because of an individual delay to a train. You only get a discount on renewing should the average punctuality (or cancellation rate) figure drop below a certain percentage. Details of that can be found here: http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/Content.aspx?id=442 and here: http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/Content.aspx?id=442

Just to add that new franchises will have a delay repay scheme so all ticket holders will receive refunds if their train they are travelling on is delayed. However FGW^▸ is not due to renew for about 4 years so currently discounts based on the average delay to all services for season ticket holders I'm afraid.

By the way: welcome to the Coffee Shop forum, bselby!

William Huskisson MP^▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.
