Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will take steps to make it a condition in all future rail passenger contracts to for companies to provide delay repay for delays between 15-30 minutes.

Delay Repay compensation for delays from 15-29 minutes is in place at 12 out of 14 DfT contracted train companies. Any proposals to introduce Delay Repay from 15-29 minutes on further rail services would need to be assessed as affordable and considered against other proposals to improve rail services.
