Money-back was only being offered to season ticket holders, but now anyone who was affected by the cancellations can make a claim.

Northern services across Yorkshire were hit when new timetables were introduced in May.

The scheme is expected to open on 9 October and people have eight weeks to make a claim.

Last week, a review by the Office of Rail and Road blamed a lack of "responsibility and accountability" for the severe disruption, which saw Northern cancel 168 trains, and said passengers were "badly treated".
