Inherent in the delivery of that heritage experience for Passengers is a degree of potential delay that might be unreasonable for a modern railway network.

If, having arrived, it fails to appear on a service to which a Booked Service Ticket applies the compensation payable will be limited to the difference in price between the Booked Service Ticket and the normal fare as shown in the Fare Table for the same journey.9.6 Refunds and compensation will be paid by the same means as were used to purchase the relevant ticket, i.e. where a charge or credit card was used a credit voucher will be issued using the same card. Cash will only be payable if the Ticket price was paid wholly in cash. Evidence of purchase must be produced as a pre-condition of any refunds or compensation.
