My recent Delay Repay application has been approved but I see the BACS payment takes 5-10 days.
My bank can transfer money in 2 hours. What is going on?

What's the actual wording? iirc they fail to say whether it's calendar
days, or working days.

You have a very slow bank, mine transfers funds instantaneously.

You do that *before* approving the claim, not afterwards.

Depends on both ends. A transfer from my bank to two different credit cards >is instant for one, and up to an hour for the other.

Neither is especially relevant. If you send something back to Amazon
they credit you within minutes of the courier picking it up, or if not
the next day.

I would expect claim approval and payment release to be separate

That's how all my expenses claims worked with a number of employers:
1. a local manager approved the claim.
2. someone in Group Finance (usually offshore) did their checks before >releasing the payment.

My own employer stops all outgoing payments for a week at financial year
end. I doubt this is unusual.

Sometimes limits like "We'll pay you within 14 working days"[1] are to
cope with year-ends and Easter, but my experience is that the delays-in-repay (hmm, I quite like that catchphrase) are routine. Which smacks of cashflow issues.
[1] 15 would be three calendar weeks, or do they really mean 14 calendar
days.

I wonder where the actual funds for delay repay comes from these days. Top >sliced from the ticket revenue before that revenue is handed over to >DfT/Treasury, or from a payment by DfT/Treasury to the TOC.?

If trains require additional maintenance (as in one of my claims),
would this not be a claim against the leasing company for failing to
provide trains in a serviceable condition?

Nothing. Arse covering. Let us know when the money arrives.
It's not the first time that this 'issue' has been raised and--
discussed here.
For another example, consider the Craigentinny depot in Edinburgh. The
depot has been operated by Hitachi Rail since 2018, with the arrival of the IETs. Before that, LNER and its predecessors operated it. But never a
ROSCO.
The depot originally opened in 1904, as a carriage sidings for the North British Railway, and was later home to HSTs. It was operated by LNER until 2018, when it transferred to Hitachi. It currently services:
XC Voyagers
TPE 397s
LNER Azumas
TPE 802s
Lumo 803s
ScotRail Class 385s
CS Class 73s.
I dare say that some of the more experienced mechanics there have been employed by BR, GNER, NXEC, EC, VTEC, LNER and now Hitachi, without ever changing jobs!

Today's edition of 'You and Yours' had a feature on people having
difficulty getting payments.
"claiming money back from your rail journey if you're delayed over a
certain amount of time. They say it's too convoluted and we hear how
there may be changes to the system on the way."

I've lost count of the number of trains I've been on which were 28, 29 minutes late getting to Kings Cross. Presumably they prioritise the last minute pathing for ones which might trigger payments
