Yes. When the operator reports a delay or a cancellation, the connection shows the new time next to the scheduled one.
Am I entitled to compensation if my train is delayed or cancelled?
On railways in the EU, a delay of 60–119 minutes at your final destination entitles you to 25% of the ticket price and a delay of 120 minutes or more to 50%. If a delay of 60 minutes or more is expected, you can also choose a refund or re-routing instead. Claims go to the operator or ticket vendor; extraordinary circumstances such as extreme weather are excluded. The official rules are on the EU "Your Europe" rail passenger rights page linked below.
