Normally yes, they're required to. And that may mean a taxi paid for by the train company.

Did you end up in Kendal?

Ive just been to Kendal to pick up my son back from Glasgow uni open day.
50 mile round trip!

I once had a taxi paid for to bypass a line blocked by a broken down train when there wasn't enough time to wait for a later train, but that was only ~6miles. I don't know whether they would have paid for a much longer journey.

I used to commute to Corby and for some reason the train service was appalling. I often ended up in railway provided taxis to/from Wellingborough (or was it Kettering, I forget) I don't suppose they'd have done that unless they were obligated to.

...note the word 'reasonably' in 28.2, and of course if there're many people and not enough alternative transport/accommodation, things could still get pretty grim

a train company is free to offer more, not sure any do
