Hull Trains Delay Repay: How to Claim Train Delay Compensation

How to claim Hull Trains Delay Repay compensation: the delay thresholds, how to claim, the time limit and what to do if it is refused.

Hull Trains pays nothing for delays under 30 minutes; compensation starts at 30 minutes. Consumer Protection UK is independent and is not connected to Hull Trains. This page sets out what Hull Trains itself says on its official page, checked on 4 October 2026.
