For other regional and local trains that arrive to your end destination with more than a 30-minute delay, you might also be given a refund. Any refund issued due to a delay is 50% of the price that was paid for the ticket. In the cases where you were informed of a possible delay at the time of purchase, you will not be entitled to such a refund.
You are also entitled to compensation for any extra expenses originating from the delay. This can be expenses related to bed and board, transport to the end station or the next steps in your journey where SJ Norge has a correspondence guarantee.
We do have a correspondence guarantee on journeys that include different means of transportation all purchased in one ticket. That includes trains operated by Vy and Go-ahead, and for our journeys with TogBuss (TrainBus).
