Travel credit eligibility for delayed trains
This travel credit chart is provided for your information. Eligibility for the following travel credits also varies according to the length of your journey. If you make a transfer during your trip, the final destination determines the amount and terms of your credit (ex. for a trip from Halifax to Toronto, Corridor terms will apply).
How your credit will be applied
A stopover breaks a trip into separate "segments", with each segment treated as a distinct trip when applying credit.
In the case of connecting travel aboard the Toronto-Vancouver (the Canadian) train, Toronto is always considered a stopover, and any travel east of Toronto is considered a new segment.
For example, if your connecting train to Montréal arrives late, the credit will be based on the Toronto-Montréal segment only.
