  • Modernised Depot to Transform Great Northern Rail Services
    13 December 2016 Modernised depot to transform Great Northern rail services Great Northern passengers are set to see a transformation in rail services with the completion of an enlarged, modernised train depot in north London, which is now one of the biggest in the UK. The traincare centre at Hornsey in north London will house and maintain a £1bn- worth of new train fleets and make possible a new, high intensity Thameslink service from Great Northern stations across central London to London Bridge, Gatwick and beyond as part of the government-sponsored Thameslink Programme. Hornsey now boasts a new state-of-the-art maintenance building, built by Siemens using main contractor Volker-Fitzpatrick, large new sidings and improved servicing for the following additional modern trains which Great Northern’s parent company Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) will run: • Class 387 trains for Great Northern services between London King’s Cross and Peterborough, Cambridge and King’s Lynn (entering service now) • Class 700 trains for new Thameslink services across London to the south from many Great Northern stations between the capital and Peterborough and Cambridge (trains arrive on Great Northern in 2017 and begin running as Thameslink in 2018) • Class 717 trains for Great Northern suburban services from Welwyn Garden City, Hertford and Stevenage to and from Moorgate in the City of London (arriving late 2018) All these trains will have air-conditioning, the latest passenger information systems, wheelchair accessible toilets and other features for passengers with disabilities. Hornsey will also become a centre of excellence for apprenticeship schemes run there by both GTR and Siemens.

    EUROSTAR A SNAPSHOT SURVEY REPORT OF A CUSTOMER QUESTIONNAIRE AND MYSTERY SHOPPER EXERCISE JUNE TO SEPTEMBER 2011 Published November 2011 Prepared by three members of the Railfuture International Committee: Christopher Brown, Simon Hope and Trevor Garrod. Input is also acknowledged from: H Trevor Jones, Ian McDonald, Hugh McLintock, Michael Hardy, Les Fawcett and Peter Walker. www.railfuture.org.uk Railfuture is the campaigning name for The Railway Development Society which is a not for profit Company Limited by Guarantee Website: http://railfuture.org.uk Registered in England and Wales no 5011634. Registered Office: 24 Chedworth Place, Tattingstone, Suffolk IP9 2ND 1 2 INTRODUCTION The Railway Development Society Ltd., campaigning as Railfuture, is an independent voluntary body for rail users which campaigned for many years for a Channel Tunnel. Since the opening of the Tunnel and inauguration of Eurostar trains in 1994, we have actively promoted these services and the new environmentally friendly journey opportuinities they have introduced. As founder members of the European Passengers’ Federation we have worked with similar organisations in France, Belgium and fifteen other European countries to promote the services and identify possible improvements. Between December 2007 and March 2008 we undertook a snapshot survey of customers’ experiences and issued a report. We undertook a second survey of journeys made between June and September 2011. We changed some of the questions in the light of developments since 2008 but our aim has remained to identify good and bad points and see what progress has been made in the customer experience since 2007/8. This time we also conducted a Mystery Shopper exercise to see how well promoted the Eurostar service is elsewhere on the British network; how helpful and informative are the call centres that customers might phone; and how easy or helpful are the websites they might visit.
