National Rail Passenger Survey Customer Satisfaction

Twice a year, Transport Focus carries out the National Rail Passenger Survey (NRPS), asking passengers travelling with every UK train company about their experiences on board. This is amalgamated into an overall customer satisfaction score, reported as a percentage of customers who were satisfied with their experience, and published for all to see.

Our current NRPS score (Spring 2020) is 95%.

Information on delays

You can check if your journey is delayed using our live arrival and departure boards or check for any future planned engineering works that may affect your travel. Network Rail also have a Delays explained section on their website where you can find out more about the common causes of delays - and what we're doing to reduce their frequency and impact.
