Abstract

The National Passenger Survey shows that almost one quarter of passengers rate the way train companies deal with delays as “poor”, while only 36% say they are dealt with “well”. To give this context, overall satisfaction currently stands at 84%. Furthermore, dealing with delays is the top driver of overall dissatisfaction with passengers’ journeys and information during delays is the fifth highest priority for improvement among Britain’s rail passengers.
