However, passengers will retain the right to continue their journey or choose an alternative route.<\/p>\n<p>For delays of 1 to 2 hours, passengers will receive a 75% reimbursement of the travel cost. The full 100% reimbursement will be paid to passengers on trains delayed by more than 2 hours. If schedule changes result in a passenger missing their boarding on another train, they will receive a ticket for the next train at no additional cost.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, MEPs rejected proposals to exempt rail operators from compensatory payments in cases of &quot;extraordinary circumstances.&quot; Another change will affect cyclists. Train passengers within the EU will be allowed to take bicycles on all trains, including high-speed, intercity, cross-border, and local trains. Special spaces will be allocated on new and refurbished trains for transporting assembled bicycles.<\/p>\n<p>The amended rules must now be approved by the EU Council before they become law. Experts believe this will happen in 2020. Currently, rail passengers in Europe can expect a maximum compensation of up to half the ticket price.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/news.turizm.ru\/belgium\/59092\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news.turizm.ru<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Europe, train passengers will be able to receive a full refund for tickets delayed by more than two hours, according to the European Railways portal.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":56917,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-56916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-stati"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.prestigtours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56916"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.prestigtours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.prestigtours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.prestigtours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.prestigtours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56916"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dev.prestigtours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56916\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.prestigtours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56917"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.prestigtours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.prestigtours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.prestigtours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
