Good Morning,

I am writing to ask if it is possible to request a refund for the train journey my daughter was unable to take.  She has a "Traject Vrij" abonnementen from Amersfoort to Zwolle so she can go to school.

 

Yesterday, due to the weather the trains from Amersfoort to Zwolle were cancelled and not expected to run until 11:00 in the morning, my daughter starts school at 08:30.  Because of this I drove her to Zwolle.

 

My question is, are we able to claim back the EUR 14,30 from the subscription costs, even though she did not check in (it kind of seems pointless to check in for the sake of it, when we know the journey cannot be made).

 

Thanks

 

Paul

I'm not from NS customer support, as this forum is a customer to customer based. You can try reaching out to NS-customer support. But the 14,30 euro's is from the monthly subscription am I right?
I think you won't be able to ask/claim that back because the train was canceled. But its always worth to try at the NS-customer support. 

Here are some sources:

Practically: No.

You can request a refund for a 'delay' and check the box stating you did not reach your destination if you could not have expected to arrive with less than 60 minute delay. NS should than refund you as if you arrived with such a delay. They'll probably decline your request stating a check in is needed but the 'Geschillencommissie' has on multiple occasions rules this condition is unlawful, so if you then file a complaint you should eventually be refunded.
