Hi @jon !
One question nags me about your proposals for new EU passenger rights: How are costs shared? Say I do Svendborg-Odense with Arriva, then Odense-Hamburg by DSB followed by a night train to Munich. The first train has an oops so I lose my connection in Odense. The next train has a tight connection in Hamburg and with a slight extra delay I lose the night train.
The manager of a small Danish branch line might not be happy about receiving my Hamburg hotel bill!

Booking my trip in a single transaction is of course best and would leave one vendor responsible, but with booking horizons etc. that might not be possible. You know the issues better than anyone, so feel free to replace my contrived example with a better one.Is there some kind of system possible that secures passenger rights without decaying into endless three-way recriminations?

@niels they’d have to all contribute to some sort of joint fund.

Hmmm....could work maybe, at least if the operators still faced the bill on some occasions when they were clearly the single responsible for the delay.I think it's important that some kind of incentive remains to actually move passengers on time. And not book unrealistically tight connections.
