RAIL providers across the UK have moved quickly to fasttrack compensation schemes for customers after the recent cancellations chaos.

Several train companies - including routes between Glasgow and England via West Coast - have seen major disruption after a huge timetable change almost two months ago.

More than four million trains across Britain were rescheduled from May 20 in the largest timetable change for decades.

The number of alterations was seven times larger than normal due to the introduction of new trains and services following billions of pounds of investment.

The shake-up was designed to increase overall frequencies and reliability, but some passengers were told they would find their regular journeys were no longer possible.

Some disruption was expected while trains and crews were re-deployed in the weeks that followed. However, rail passengers have suffered mass delays since.

The damaging impact of the new train timetables was demonstrated in the latest punctuality figures issued last week.

Almost a quarter (23%) of trains operated by Northern were at least five minutes late between May 27 and June 23, compared with just 9% during the same period last year, Network Rail data showed.

Some 6% of Northern trains were either cancelled or delayed by at least 30 minutes, up from 2% in the corresponding period in 2017.
