  • Review of Southeastern DPPP Letter
    Annette Egginton Head of Competition and Consumer Policy Directorate of Railway Markets & Economics Email: [email protected] 22 April 2016 Justin Ryan Accessibility and Inclusion Manager Southeastern Dear Justin Review of London and Southeastern Railway Limited (trading as Southeastern) Disabled People’s Protection Policy (Condition 5 of your Station Licence and GB Passenger Statement of National Regulatory Conditions) 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 Passenger Statement of National Regulatory Conditions (SNRP). We welcome the following commitments, which we believe will have a positive impact for many passengers: Your requirement for passengers to give only 12 hours’ notice for assistance bookings when travelling on Southeastern services; The use of the ‘Recite Me’ app on your website, that gives better access to the information by including a screen reader as well as the ability to increase the font size and change the background colours to suit the users requirements; Your priority seat card initiative to allow disabled passengers to find seats on your services; Your offer of a refund for passengers if assistance booked with 12 hours’ notice is not provided; and The mystery shopping research you carry out to assess your assisted travel service.

    HEADCORN HEADLINES Edition: 129 Week Beginning: 01.07.19 URGENCY GENERAL WHOLE SCHOOL ITEMS We have had a busy week packed full of athletics, photos, history and swimming. Congratulations to our two teams who took part in the Athletics Competition held at the Julie Rose Stadium in Ashford. Excellent placing this year and as always, fantastic displays not only of talent and effort but also of sportsmanship. More news about this next week. On Wednesday we had our Class Photos taken. Information on how to order these will be sent home once the proofs arrive. Please order promptly to ensure delivery before the end of term. Thursday Year 3 enjoyed their History Day on The Stone Age. The class enjoyed re-enacting hunting, crawling through mining tunnels and acting out a Celtic myth. Take a look at our Twitter feed for some photos of their adventures! Head’s Lines Today Year 6 visited the Open Day at The Police College where they attended workshops and activities that promoted the vital and diverse role of policing across the county, from training the officers through to receiving and responding to emergency calls. It also highlighted how the police work with partners to deal with crime and disorder, protect the public from harm, and keep Kent safe. During the visit, pupils were able to meet officers, watch police teams in action and take part in activities and demonstrations. There was a large range of interactive displays that sought to engage the children around some of the key challenges they may face as they move into their next stage of development, involving online safety, road safety, alcohol and drug awareness.

  • Southeastern Penalty Fare Scheme
    Southeastern Penalty Fare Scheme DMC2685 Version 1 2009 Penalty Fare Scheme 2009 1 Introduction 1.1 We, Southeastern, give notice under rule 3.2 of the SRA’s Penalty Fares Rules 2002 that we want to change our penalty fares scheme with effect from 30 April 2009. This document describes our penalty fare scheme for the purposes of rule 3(2)(b). 1.2 Southeastern currently operates a penalty fares scheme because, each year, our passengers make over 130 million journeys and even if only a small percentage of these passengers travel without paying, Southeastern will lose a considerable amount of money. Reducing the number of people who travel without a ticket is not only in the interests of Southeastern, but also in the interests of most fare-paying passengers. Few of us want to subsidise people who avoid paying, and the loss of income due to people travelling without tickets reduces the money available to invest in a better rail service. 1.3 As part of our revenue protection strategy, we have invested in the installation of additional automatic ticket gates, but it is not cost effective to install ticket gates at every station. We have therefore focussed the use of gates at our stations where large numbers of customers travel, especially at the London terminals. Conductors carry out on board ticket checks on longer distance journeys but suburban services operate without a conductor. Also, where station stops are frequent or where the trains are often busy it is not always possible to check every passenger’s ticket between every station.
