Multiple train delays from multiple operators. Any way to claim compensation?

Over the past couple months, four out of the eight train journeys I have made of over an hour's duration have been delayed. These train journeys have been made by various different operators. The delays have been between 10 to 25 minutes, long enough to be annoying, but not long enough to be able to claim compensation for the individual delayed journeys. In total the delays have amounted to 75 minutes. One of the delays was caused by a train breakdown, another due to the previous train arriving late, another due to an issue at the train depot and the final one due to a track problem.

Is there any way I can claim compensation for these delayed journeys?

    haven't you answered your own question with the bit in bold?

  • I am asking if I claim compensation for the cumulative effect of the delays, not the individual journeys.

    No, why would you be able to? You said yourself that it's with various different operators...
