through-ticket

noun

through-ticket

noun
1

A ticket that is a single contract for a multileg journey (e.g. on multiple transport networks) that guarantees passenger rights and protections in case of disruptions on one leg of the journey, e.g. a missed train.

  • On a through-ticket you're legally entitled to later onward travel if a delay means a missed connection, but with separate train-specific tickets the risk is yours.
