When things go wrong

We think that it is important that you have the chance to tell us when things don't go to plan. Whilst we work hard to make sure that our trains run to time and that everything is right for our customers, we know that sometimes things don't go to plan. Please tell us about your experience and give us the chance to put things right. We will make every effort to provide you with answers and where it is appropriate, we will provide reasonable compensation. When we look through or hear about a complaint, we consider it on its own merits.

As a consumer you have rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and anything which we set out is intended to address complaints we receive, and claims made. This does not limit or exclude rights you may have.

Customer Information Pledges

The rail industry’s Smarter Information, Smarter Journeys Programme wants to enhance your experience by improving information and its delivery. As a result, we've agreed a pledge in partnership with other train operators, Network Rail and the Rail Delivery Group which aims to:

Show that we care by putting our customers’ needs first
Commit to a set of guiding principles that will bring real consistency to the information we provide to customers when they choose to travel by train
Allow for enough flexibility across the network to ensure we meet all customers’ needs, which might be slightly different locally, whilst still maintaining consistency across the industry
Bring together good practice from across the railway - and other industries - to support customers during disruption and get them where they need to be as quickly as possible
