Why do these regulations only apply to airlines?
Why, if I am taking the train from, say, London to Brussels and I am delayed 4 hours due to a fault of the channel tunnel or eurostar am I not entitled to get €250 from them, or indeed anything, not even a refreshment voucher?
If I was delayed for 4 hours in BRU or LHR then I'd get a refreshment voucher and a would be entitled to make a claim of such amounts (even if I only paid around €70 for the ticket, for example).
I do think these regulations seem be a bit unbalanced. People getting paid hundreds of Euros when they may not have even spent anywhere near that amount on the original ticket. These seem to have been thought up by people who wish to see airlines consigned to the history books.
