Want to see how our service measures up? See how we did in National Rail’s most recent passenger survey.
Twice a year, Transport Focus conducts an independent National Rail Passenger Survey (NRPS).
The survey asks passengers about their experience with our station and train facilities. The results are an important part of our Passenger Experience Metric and help us make decisions on what parts of our service to improve next.
