The French national railway company, SNCF, is under scrutiny for its reporting of train delays. Official statistics show only 1 in 8 TGV trains were delayed last year, but the transport regulation authority claims the actual figure is closer to 1 in 4. The discrepancy arises from differing definitions of what constitutes a delay. Passengers are reminded of their rights to reimbursement for delays, with up to 75% of the ticket price refundable for delays over three hours.
