National Rail Conditions of Carriage - Content

Content

The NRCoC are arranged into four sections plus three appendices; the current edition runs to 30 pages in print. The first section deals with passenger tickets and the other sections deal with luggage, lost property and other matters.

They are, however, of use to the consumer, because they afford considerable rights to the traveller with regards ticket validity. This has become a matter of significant public interest recently, in view of the complex and convoluted pricing structure of rail tickets in Great Britain.
