Potential for a stupid question, but here goes....

If a delay to a Virgin train causes an hour or more delay to your journey...we will reimburse you with National Rail vouchers equal to 25% of the total fare paid for the affected portion (outward/return) of the journey.


I've had a walk up ticket (off peak return) from Parbold to Balloch for £49.10 (16-25 discounted), a delay of >1 hour is a 25% refund. As the affected leg was the outbound journey, there is no 'off peak single' fare that I can find, only a Anytime Single of £43.90.

Would I be due 25% of the £43.90 (~£11) despite it being an Anytime ticket or would the Off Peak Return (£49.10) be classed as £24.55 for each leg of the journey, and I should prepare myself for receiving ~£6 back in return for the delay of the train breaking down...


Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Generally speaking, each leg is worth half the return fare, not the single fare, although occasionally it might differ.

If you bought a single ticket, then the whole amount will be taken into account.
