THOUSANDS of people in Bolton were hit by daily train delays and cancellations earlier this year when timetable changes led to widespread disruption.

As a result, the Government has announced plans for a new system of compensation which focuses on those with weekly or season tickets.

However, the system can be difficult to navigate, so we've put together a video to explain exactly how you can claim.
