delay
What it means
A train is running late against its timetable. A limited express that reaches the last station on your ticket two hours or more late can have its express charge refunded in full.
Watch for
The refund covers the express charge, not the basic fare. Ask at a JR station ticket office; discount tickets can follow different rules.
