If you have a paper season ticket, you will be entitled to compensation if our service has dropped below the standards set out in our Merseyrail Passenger Charter during the period your ticket is valid for. The compensation will be equal to a percentage of the cost of your ticket.
If you have a Merseyrail Only Railpass which you purchased online please view the process for claiming compensation here.
