A Bill to make provision for passengers to receive automatic compensation from travel operators in certain circumstances; to require train operators to ring-fence certain funds received from Network Rail for service disruption and planned possessions for the development of ticketing technology to facilitate the payment of automatic compensation for passengers; and for connected purposes.
House of Commons
17 September 2019
The Automatic Travel Compensation Bill would require travel operators to automatically compensate passengers in certain disruption scenarios. It would also require train operators to ring-fence funds received from Network Rail to fund the development of ticketing technology that can automate these payments. The overall aim is to make compensation quicker and more predictable for travellers when services are disrupted or there are planned works on the network.
The bill is at the second reading in the House of Commons. If it progresses, it would move to committee for detailed examination, then to report stage and third reading, before moving to the Lords.
