Compensation paid to passengers for train delays in Britain in the last financial year exceeded GBP100 million - and the number of claims for delayed or cancelled trains continues to grow.
The compensation bill is paid by the taxpayer – the government pays operators a management fee regardless of performance and carries the cost of lost revenue.
Almost 320,000 British train services were cancelled or part-cancelled in the past year.
