  • Approval of Greater Anglia DPPP
    Annette Egginton Head of Competition and Consumer Policy Directorate of Railway Markets & Economics Email: [email protected] 06 October 2016 Jamie Burles Managing Director Greater Anglia Dear Jamie Approval of Abellio East Anglia Limited (Trading as Greater Anglia) Disabled People’s Protection Policy (Condition 5 of your Station Licence and GB Statement of National Regulatory Conditions: Passenger) Thank you for providing updated versions of your Disabled People’s Protection Policy (DPPP) documents for review. A copy of your revised DPPP is attached to this letter, and will be published on our website along with a copy of this letter. I confirm that we have reviewed your DPPP against the 2009 Guidance “How to write your Disabled People’s Protection Policy: A guide for Train and Station Operators” (the Guidance) and can confirm that your revised DPPP meets the requirements of Condition 5 of your station licence and GB Statement of National Regulatory Conditions: Passenger (SNRP). We welcome your commitment to introduce a customer satisfaction survey measurement tool which will call back 5% of users of the pre-booked assistance service to ensure that the service met their expectations, which we believe are likely to be positive for passengers. Since your DPPP was originally submitted to ORR we have had several exchanges in the intervening period in order to bring about the changes required to make it fully compliant with the Guidance. We also sought views on your policies from Transport Focus, London TravelWatch and the Disabled Persons Transport Advisory Committee (DPTAC). The main areas where you clarified your policies during our review were: Provision of assistance where this has not been booked in advance: The guidance states that operators are expected to provide assistance to disabled passengers who arrive at a station and require assistance to allow them to travel, but have not booked in advance.
