Most common questions
Can I get a refund?
As a general rule, all purchases are final and TrainCompass does not offer refunds as a standard outcome.
Can I change my travel date?
Sometimes. We do our best to help customers rebook where the relevant train operator allows it. TrainCompass waives all of our own service fees for rebooking support, but operator fees or fare differences may still apply.
Are you an official rail operator?
No. TrainCompass is an independent booking service, not an official rail operator.
What should I send if I need help with an existing booking?
Please send:

- the email address used at checkout,
- and a short description of the issue.
What should I not send in chat or voice support?
Please do not send:
- full card numbers,
- CVV codes,
- passwords,
- one-time codes,
- or other sensitive financial credentials.

When to contact support directly
You should contact us directly if:

- you want to request a date or time change,
- your train was delayed, cancelled, or you missed a connection,
