Yes! Cancelled trips are a bummer in every circumstance, so why should your Cancel for Any Reason exclude anything?
You don't need to tell us why you are cancelling your trip, just cancel your journey on the Trainline platform no later than 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time and we will immediately get to work on processing your compensation.
Cancel for Any Reason offers you compensation for 95% of your ticket cost if you have to cancel your journey for any reason. You will be eligible for this compensation if you insured your journey at the time of purchase and cancelled your journey no later than 15 minutes before the journey's scheduled departure time.
This is just an overview of the insurance conditions. A full explanation of the Trainline Cancel for Any Reason can be found in the benefit guide.
You will not be eligible for compensation under Trainline Cancel for Any Reason under the following circumstances:
- You cancelled your journey less than 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time; or
- Payment of the compensation is prohibited under any applicable law or sanction regime.
If your journey is eligible for Cancel for Any Reason, you will see the option to add the insurance for an additional fee when purchasing your booking. Just make sure this option is selected throughout your purchase and you will receive confirmation of your insurance and membership pack from us after completing your purchase.
Yes, you can add Cancel for Any Reason to your return trip. You can choose to add Cancel for Any Reason to either your outward journey, your inward journey, or both.

If you are unable to see the option to add Cancel for Any Reason to your purchase, you or your journey likely does not meet one or more of the eligibility conditions.
