Responding to the latest National Rail Passenger Survey by Transport Focus, in which Great Northern passenger satisfaction for the period 11 January to 20 March fell, year-on-year, from 80% to 74%, Passenger Service Director Keith Jipps said:
Transport Focus has published the results of the spring 2016 National Rail Passenger Survey. Southern, Gatwick Express and Network Rail have responded as follows:
Railway workers from Thameslink and Great Northern have raised over £1,600 for children with genetic disorders during a Charities Week.
GTR has scooped two top prizes and has been highly commended at the Railway Industry Innovation Awards. The awards reward those in the industry that are pushing forward with innovations.
Thameslink’s new Siemens-built Class 700 train has performed well as it enjoyed its maiden voyage in passenger service on the 10.02 service from Brighton to London Bridge.
Extreme weather conditions have meant that Southern services are severely disrupted today. The forecast is for a return of heavy rain in places on the Southern network from 3pm. As a result, we are advising you to start your journey home early.
So far, over 87% of services operating today on the strike-affected Southern network have run to time. Southern will be returning to its normal timetable tomorrow (Wednesday) but some services may run with fewer carriages than normal because trains will be out of their normal position because of today’s strike.
Strike action is continuing across the Southern Railway network today, but services are largely running to the revised strike day timetable. Disruption will continue all day today and is likely to affect some early morning services on Wednesday 22 June.
Staff from Thameslink have been helping unemployed locals in Luton to help turn their lives around. Working with charity NOAH Enterprise, teams from across the network have gone out of their way to help to give others a new perspective on life, helping them into work.
Southern Railway has responded to a statement from the independent Rail Safety & Standards Board that driver-only-operation (DOO) offers “no increased risk” compared to train operation with a conductor closing the doors.
For the safety and comfort of passengers using Thameslink, Southern and Gatwick Express services the weekend of this BHF London to Brighton bike ride, there will be cycle restrictions in place.
