Is West Midlands Railway legit?
Legit, mixed reviewsWest Midlands Railway is the genuine operator of local trains through Birmingham, yet cancelled and late-running services are where trips most often come apart. Compensation through Delay Repay only starts once you arrive at least 15 minutes late, and planned engineering works with a replacement bus usually fall outside it altogether.
What we checked
- Publicly owned since February 2026
- Brand of WM Trains Ltd
- Operating company formed in 2020
- Ratings on other review websites: 1.5/5
Watch out for
- A penalty fare issued because a ticket machine failed and you could not find the conductor, with 21 days to appeal.
- A delay that made you give up the trip, which the rules send to a ticket refund rather than Delay Repay.
- A Delay Repay claim for a journey more than 28 days ago, past the scheme's own deadline.

West Midlands Railway and London Northwestern Railway belong to the same company, but London Northwestern Railway has its own website, so a journey on a London Northwestern train between Liverpool and Birmingham or to and from London Euston goes to that brand.
Train cancelled or a claim turned down? Start your complaint here as well, and we take it to West Midlands Railway by email, social media and printed letters.
How do I get a refund from West Midlands Railway for a delayed or cancelled train?
For a delayed West Midlands Railway train, claim compensation through Delay Repay on the West Midlands Railway website, with your ticket or a photo of it, the date, the stations you travelled between and the scheduled time of the train you meant to take. The qualifying delay and the time limit for claims are set out on that page, so check both before you claim, and keep the claim reference.
For a ticket you could not use because the train was cancelled, ask the retailer that sold you the ticket for a refund; sales on the West Midlands Railway website and app are run by Trainline as its agent. If a claim or refund is rejected, ask for the reason in writing.
Delay Repay refused or a refund turned down? Bring it through our complaint process: our trained AI opens a case for you and keeps coaching you on what to reply and when to push WMR again.
