For train selected tickets (saver fares), this train connection is cancelled in the following cases:

• in the event of an expected delay at the destination of:
• at least 20 minutes for national journeys
• at least 60 minutes for international journeys
• in the event of cancellation of a train
• in the event of a stop cancellation
• if you do not reach your connecting train due to DB's fault
• if the train departs early due to a timetable change

Train selected cancelled means:

• For journeys with long distance tickets: You can use all DB long distance trains (ICE, IC/EC) and local trains (RE, RB, IRE, S-Bahn) with your original ticket.
• For journeys with local train tickets: You can use another local train. If you are travelling on a higher-value train (e.g. IC/EC, ICE), you must purchase an additional ticket. You can have the costs reimbursed via the Passenger Rights Service Centre. This rule does not apply to significantly reduced fares (e.g. Deutschlandticket, Länder-Tickets).
• You can use a later connection of your choice (e.g. later on the same day of travel, one day later or in three weeks' time. This is possible up to one year after the original date of travel).
• For long-distance journeys, you can also take an earlier connection on the same day of travel.
• You have a free choice of travel route. The journey to the destination stated on the ticket can therefore also take a different route.
• Within Germany, you do not need an additional certificate for cancelling the train selected. However, you can have a certificate issued on explicit request (e.g. on the train, in the travel centre or at the DB Information counter).
