Stop leaving money on the platform! Millions of pounds in Delay Repay compensation goes unclaimed every year. Not because passengers aren't entitled to it — but because finding the right portal, working out the amount, and submitting before the deadline is just enough friction that life gets in the way. Railiable makes it take 30 seconds. RAILIABLE PLUS — AUTOMATIC DELAY ALERTS FOR YOUR COMMUTE: Set up your regular routes once. Railiable monitors them in real time using live Network Rail data and sends you a push notification the moment your train is delayed — including exactly how much you could be owed and a direct link to start your claim. No checking. No forgetting. Just money back in your pocket. HOW IT WORKS: Enter your origin, destination and travel date. We pull live train movement data directly from Network Rail and show you every service that ran, exactly how late each one was, and whether it was cancelled. Your compensation is calculated instantly under your operator's Delay Repay policy. Copy your claim details with one tap, open your operator's portal directly, and you're done. THE ONLY UK DELAY REPAY APP THAT WORKS FOR ANY TICKET: Unlike other apps, Railiable doesn't require you to have booked through us. Season ticket? Paper ticket? Bought from another app or at the station? Doesn't matter. If your train was delayed or cancelled, we'll find it. WORKS WITH ALL MAJOR UK OPERATORS: Thameslink, LNER, Great Northern, Southern, Southeastern, CrossCountry, Avanti West Coast, ScotRail, TransPennine Express, Northern, South Western Railway, c2c, Chiltern Railways, East Midlands Railway, Greater Anglia, London Overground and more. BUILT FOR COMMUTERS, BY A COMMUTER: Railiable was built by a daily commuter who was tired of leaving money on the table every time a train was late. Every feature exists to make claiming as fast and frictionless as possible. COMPLETELY FREE. NO ADS. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED: The core app is free forever. Search any route, find any delayed train, calculate your compensation and claim — no account required. Your claim history is saved locally on your device only. We never see your personal information, ticket details or payment information. Everything happens directly on your operator's official portal. We just get you there faster. Upgrade to Railiable Plus for automatic route monitoring, real-time delay notifications, and compensation estimates delivered straight to your lock screen. Terms of Use: https://railiable.co.uk/terms
