    Hi Chris,

    I’m sorry to hear that. Well, if it’s stolen you can request a local police report and check your travel insurance for compensation. Perhaps if it’s just lost your travel insurance will cover it as well. There’s no compensation from the railways or pass resellers as far as I know. There’s only compensation for non-used or sometimes partly used passes.
