In sweden it is decided that a train running on time have priority over a late running service, unless the late train isn't a steel slab train.
Delays etc they don't need to pay fine for unless they are running for the county service (commuter trains etc). However, if the delay is nottheir fault (no power in overhead lines, signal failure or track failure, they don't have to pay.
For national trains (Veolia, SJ, SJ Norrlandståg, Tågkompaniet etc) there isn't any fine, but they may have to refund the passenger up to 100% of the ticket prize. And hopefully demand that money from the one responsible for the delay as 80% of the delays for SJ is due to bad infrastructure (owned by Trafikverket, a government agency)
