Re: Virgin delay/repay
I had a delay/repay claim with South Western Railway that I submitted 6 weeks ago and have received neither an acknowledgement nor the required refund. Unfortuntately, because I do not have a scanner I had to send the claim by post. I have given up on it now and just written the amount off. The original tickets have to be submitted with the claim and have probably been binned.
Perhaps I should write a letter of complaint to Chris Grayling.

Virgin
50% for 1/2 hour delay
Delays of over 60 minutes = 100% of the cost of a single ticket or 100% of the cost of the relevant portion of a return ticket
I know its different but Virgin Airways paid out within 10 days of Claim being verified and details forwarded....

Re: Virgin delay/repay
If you have booked your train tickets via Virgin Trains own website then any refund due is paid automatically by Virgin without needing to actually claim.
Re: Virgin delay/repay
Had a Transpennine train from Liverpool to Manchester Victoria cancelled about 3 weeks ago.
Went on the website, uploaded pic of ticket, and got confirmation email all during the journey back on next train.
Refund paid into account 10 days later.

Re: Virgin delay/repay
Also depends on the reason for delay. I had a delay of just over 1 hour on a GWR train from Paddington to Exeter. The delay was caused by someone being hit by a train at Newbury, so the TOC are not liable for this.

Re: Virgin delay/repay
Had Virgin pay out relatively quickly. The key point being this thread is all about Virgin trains, not all the other companies!!!!
