  • What Passengers Want from Customer Reports
    What passengers want from Customer Reports March 2015 1 1. Introduction 1.1 Research background Our research on Passenger Power!1 has demonstrated that rail passengers desire a greater voice in franchising decisions and more information about what winning bidders have promised. The Department for Transport (DfT) now requires any new franchisee to issue a Customer Report upon commencement of its contract and to provide updates on this on at least an annual basis. A Customer Report should set out the franchisee’s plans for the railway and its commitments to passengers. To help establish an understanding of how these documents might best meet passengers’ needs and to provide examples of good practice, Passenger Focus has commissioned research to obtain passenger feedback on Customer Reports issued by three Train Operating Companies (TOCs): Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) – the first operator required to issue a Customer Report following the launch of its franchise on 14 September 2014; it operates the Thameslink, Great Northern and, come July 2015, Southern routes. c2c – its Customer Report was launched in November 2014, following the renewal of its contract to run the service out of Fenchurch Street until 2029. Abellio Greater Anglia (AGA) – while not a formal requirement of the franchise, AGA chose to issue a first report in June 2013. It published another in June 2014 when it was awarded a further contract to operate rail services in East Anglia until October 2016. 1.2 Research objectives The overall aim of the research has been to gather passenger feedback on Customer Reports issued by new franchisees or franchise renewals.
