    Passenger Focus is the independent consumer watchdogfor Britains rail passengers and Englands bus, coach andtram passengers (outside of London). Basing our workon research we aim to make a difference for all Britainspassengers.

    This year we hope again to seek the views of over100,000 passengers on a range of the key short andlong-term issues that will affect them. As ever we willpublish all of our research.We will try and be useful togovernments and the transport industry as they makedecisions that affect passengers.

    Our vision is that operators, funders, and regulatorsof transport systems put passengers first.

    This will be achieved by our mission of getting thebest deal for passengers.

    Our current work is based on the following sevenobjectives, which underpin the vision and mission.

    1 Make a difference for all passengers2 Tackle examples of poor passenger services3 Improve access to services for passengers

    with part icular needs4 Promote good practice in complaint handling

    and provide advice and advocacy to complainants5 Increase awareness of Passenger Focus and

    our influence with stakeholders6 Build and deliver effective passenger representation

    for bus and coach passengers7 Boost Passenger Focuss capacity and capability

    to get the best deal for passengers.

    The National Rail Passenger Survey is commissioned and published by Passenger Focus

    Passenger Focus 2014. Design and print by TU inkwww.tuink.co.uk

    Were here to put the interests of rail, bus, coach and trampassengers first. We do this by:

    Campaigning for improvements

    We gather research and information, like theNational Rail Passenger Survey, where over 60,000rail passengers gave us their views about their

    journey in the last year, so we understand the issuesthat matter to you.

    We work with governments and industry to ensurethat the passenger voice is heard when makingdecisions about the future.

    We focus on a number of key issues:- fares and tickets- quality and level of services- investment.

    Resolving complaints with rail companies

    If you make a complaint to a train company andare unhappy with the response, we can take upyour issue with the rail company involved.

    What is Passenger Focus?

    What is Passenger Focus doing for me?

    Background

    T he National Rail Passenger Survey (NRPS) providesa network-wide picture of customers satisfaction withrail travel. Passenger opinions of train services are collectedtwice a year from a representative sample of passengerjourneys. Passengers overall satisfaction, overallsatisfaction with the station and train, and satisfactionwith 33 specific aspects of service can therefore becompared over time.

    Main fieldwork took place between 2 February and13 April 2014. Top up shifts were done within the last three

    weeks of the fieldwork period.This document contains passenger ratings of their journey

    for each individual train operating company (TOC) in chapterthree. Ratings are also provided for each sector i.e. Londonand the South East, long-distance, and regional operators(chapter two). We also include some tables showingpassenger ratings for certain specific aspects of service forall TOCs on one page (chapter three), and results for routeswithin TOCs (chapter four). Chapter five shows national resultsby journey purpose, age and gender. Passengers ratings arealso summarised nationally by totalling results for all TOCsacross Great Britain (chapter two).

    From Autumn 2010, in order to accommodate somenew tables, the trend charts previously shown in this reportare now included in the full report, whilst Network Railstation results are shown in the stations report (includingan increased sample size to make the results morerepresentative for those stations). These reports, alongwith all main NRPS reports produced, are available on thePassenger Focus website or by email on request. Moreanalysis for each train company can be found in At-a-glance guides which are available for each train company

    and for Great Britain on the Passenger Focus website.Other NRPS analysis is also available and readilyaccessible. Detailed analysis for the last six waves isavailable through our on-line system Reportal and summarydata (including 10 waves of trend data) is available throughour open data tool which can be accessed via the followinglink: http://www.passengerfocus.org.uk/our-open-data

    From Autumn 2013 wave the National PassengerSurvey was renamed the National Rail Passenger Survey.There have been no changes to the way the survey iscarried out.

    1.2 Issues affecting the Spring 2014 survey1

    Issues affecting the Spring 2014 survey

    The main fieldwork for the Spring 2014 survey (wave 30)was undertaken between 2 February and 13 April 2014.Top up interviews were done within the last three weeksof the fieldwork period.

    As with previous waves, planned engineering workmeant that some shifts were rescheduled. As usual,shifts are only rescheduled if the engineering work causeda station or line closure. Whenever possible the shiftswent ahead as planned if trains were still running.

    There was disruption of shifts scheduled in the first

    three weeks of fieldwork due to severe flooding. This mainlyaffected the South East and South West, and resulted insome rescheduling of shifts. There were also a few stationsthat were closed for all of the fieldwork period.

    Southeastern state their services may have been affectedby several incidents, in particular the closure of the Hastingsmainline, Canterbury West and multiple landslips andincidents across the network.

    There were a few changes to the fieldwork schedulein London due to transport problems caused by industrialaction on London Underground on 5 and 6 February.

    Shifts were aborted if a station only had a replacementbus service. As previously, where a station was still openand served several TOCs, we continued with our intendedshift as planned we were able to distribute questionnairesto passengers on those TOCs still operating a service.

    Fieldworkers were told not to give questionnaires topassengers boarding a replacement bus service and all

    completed questionnaires relating to journeys undertakenwholly or partly by bus were excluded from the final analysisand reporting of results. There is a question which gathersthis data on the front page of the questionnaire, makingsuch exclusions very straightforward.

    We recognise that some journeys are not covered by thissurvey, mainly because it does not include rail replacementbus services, but this only has a limited effect on the results.

    Passengers satisfaction can vary by season. Thereforedifferences in scores for the proportion of passengers whoare satisfied with services or rate them as good are providedfor the same period in the previous year as well as for theprevious wave carried out approximately six months ago.

    For ease of use, National Rail Passenger Survey(NRPS) data is reported without decimal places. However,changes from wave to wave are calculated using threedecimal places. Rounding of the data means that resultsmay appear to differ by one per cent to the published

    results. For example, 84.6 is reported as 85 and 83.2is reported as 83; the apparent reported difference istwo, however the actual difference is 1.4 and willtherefore be published as one.

    The tables include a column marked significantchange, which measures whether there has been amarked improvement or decline in satisfaction sinceSpring 2013 or Autumn 2013. If an improved ordeclined satisfaction rating is marked it means it issignificant at the 95 per cent confidence level. This meansthere is a less than five per cent chance that the changeobserved is not real. As some station and train factorshave a seasonal component to the results, the maincomparison we use is against the survey results oneyear previously. For the Spring 2014 survey the maincomparison is against the Spring 2013 results. Thosepassengers with no opinion are excluded from these

    calculations and from these tables in some cases thisis a large group. This means that sample sizes may besmall for a few of the station or train factors of someTOCs. If so, quite large percentage changes may notbe significant.

    Passenger satisfaction with the various train factorsis based on which train company is operating the train onwhich passengers were travelling. Satisfaction with stationfactors is based on passengers views of the station atwhich they commenced their journey. For example,

    passengers views of station factors in the train companytable for Chiltern Railways is based on all passengersviews of their origin station before travelling on a journeywith Chiltern Railways. However, some stations thatChiltern Railways trains call at are not operated byChiltern Railways. NRPS results by station operator arepresented in a separate report (the Station Managersreport) available on the Passenger Focus website orby email on request.

    Trend data that used to be contained in this reportis now shown in the NRPS full report available on thePassenger Focus website.

    The NRPS contains satisfaction ratings for all TOCsoperating under franchise. We are also very pleased thatfour other train companies participated in the survey attheir own expense, and grateful that they have allowedtheir data to be published here. They are First Hull Trains,

    Grand Central, Heathrow Connect and Heathrow Express.The methodology used for these four train companies

    is the same as for most franchised train companies,except that most questionnaires on these train companiesare handed out on the train to ensure that sufficientcompleted questionnaires are returned. Please see6.1 Appendix for further details.

    Data for First Hull Trains and Grand Central is providednext to a comparison with data for long-distance TOCs.Data for Heathrow Connect and Heathrow Express is

    provided next to a comparison with data for London andSouth East TOCs. However, it should be noted that datafor these operators has not been included in the summaryof long-distance, London and South East or national data.Sector data only includes train companies that areoperating under franchise.

    The overall sample size for the Spring 2014 surveywas 29,524 for all the train companies combined(27,115 for the franchised companies).

    Nationally the percentage of passengers satisfied withtheir journey overall was 82 per cent. This is not significantlydifferent to Spring 2013 (when 82 per cent of passengerswere also satisfied). 83 per cent of passengers weresatisfied overall with their journey in Autumn 2013.

    Overall satisfaction by TOC varied between 72 per centand 96 per cent.

    Overall satisfaction by individual routes within TOCs

    varied between 69 per cent and 96 per cent.

    At a national level, the proportion of passengers satisfiedwith punctuality/reliability was 77 per cent. This is notsignificantly different to Spring 2013 when 78 per centof passengers were satisfied.

    Nationally the percentage of passengers satisfied withall train and station factors improved for nine service areas,declined for two and the rest were unchanged. The twobiggest improvements in satisfaction were with value formoney for the price of the ticket (+3 per cent) and

    cleanliness of the outside of the train (+3 per cent).The biggest decline in satisfaction was with sufficientroom for all passengers to sit/stand (-2 per cent).

    The proportion of passengers satisfied with value for moneyfor the price of their ticket nationally was 45 per cent,

    compared to 42 per cent of passengers in spring 2013.65 per cent of passengers were satisfied with sufficientroom for all passengers to sit/stand (67 per cent inSpring 2013).

    For London and the South East operators, 80 per cent

    of passengers were very or fairly satisfied overall, notsignificantly different to Spring 2013 (when 81 per centwere satisfied). The percentage of passengers satisfiedwith all train and station factors improved for 10 serviceareas, declined for five and the rest were unchanged.The biggest improvements in satisfaction were with attitudesand helpfulness of station staff; how requests to staff werehandled; value for money for the price of your ticket; andcleanliness of the outside of the train (all +3 per cent).The biggest decline was with satisfaction with thehelpfulness and attitude of staff on train (-3 per cent).

    For the long distance operators the proportion of passengerswho were very or fairly satisfied overall was 86 per cent.This was not significantly different to Spring 2013 (when87 per cent were satisfied). Passenger satisfaction for thevarious train and station factors improved for seven serviceareas and declined for three. The biggest improvementsin satisfaction were with satisfaction with train toilet facilitiesand the choice of shops/eating/drinking facilities available(both +4 per cent). The biggest decline in satisfaction waswith satisfaction with the comfort of the seating area(-3 per cent).

    For regional operators 86 per cent of passengers were veryor fairly satisfied with their journey overall, not significantlydifferent compared to Spring 2013 when 84 per centwere satisfied. Passenger satisfaction was mostly unchangedfor station and train factors compared to Spring 2013,but satisfaction improved for three factors. The biggest

    improvement in satisfaction was with train toilet facilities(+5 per cent).

    Comparing the percentage of passengers satisfied overallfor individual train operating companies with Spring 2013,two significantly improved (Abellio Greater Anglia and East

    Coast) and three declined (Southeastern, Arriva TrainsWales and c2c). 18 TOCs have had no statisticallysignificant change in their overall satisfaction resultscompared with Spring 2013.

    The highest ratings for overall satisfaction were achievedby First Hull Trains (96 per cent), Heathrow Express(94 per cent), Grand Central (94 per cent). Merseyrail(93 per cent) and Chiltern Railways (92 per cent).

    The lowest ratings for overall satisfaction were givento Southeastern (72 per cent), First Capital Connect

    (77 per cent), Southern (78 per cent) and South WestTrains (79 per cent). First Great Western and NorthernRail both had 80 per cent satisfied.

    Satisfaction with value for money by individual routes withinTOCs varied between 29 per cent and 79 per cent.

    Satisfaction with punctuality/reliability by individual routeswithin TOCs varied between 60 per cent and 97 per cent.

    Satisfaction with sufficient room for all passengers tosit/stand by individual routes within TOCs varied between
