National Rail Passenger Survey results

Transport Focus used to conduct an independent National Rail Passenger Survey (NRPS) twice a year. This was paused at the start of the pandemic and will, in due course, be replaced by a new industry survey

The survey asks passengers about their experience with our station and train facilities.The historic results are available here.
