Passengers' experiences during engineering [1]Passenger Focus logo
works

 

Dear B, [3][IMG]

Passengers recognise the need for engineering works on the
railways. However, many have negative perceptions and
experiences of the way that planned engineering works are
handled by the rail industry.

We have carried out new research into passengers' views and
experiences of using the railway when engineering works are
disrupting the timetable. We will be working with the
industry to ensure these findings are understood and acted on.

Key findings from the report include:

* 85 per cent of passengers want a discount if they have to
use a replacement bus
* 55 per cent of passengers would not travel by train at all
if part of the journey was by bus
* online retailers should improve websites so disruption is
obvious to passengers
* train operators need to improve transfers between train
and bus.

The full report looks at this in more detail and provides some
key recommendations to the industry on how to manage planned
engineering works.

National Passenger Survey - rising [1]Passenger Focus logo
satisfaction levels

 

Dear B, [4][IMG]

We have now published the results of our autumn 2012 National
Passenger Survey, which offers a network-wide picture of
satisfaction with rail travel. More than 30,000 passengers
took part in this wave of the survey, which is carried out
twice a year from a representative sample of journeys.

Passenger Focus chief executive, Anthony Smith, said:

“The passenger voice helps to drive change on the railways. It
is clear that major improvements are linked to where
passengers have spoken, and industry has acted. It is critical
that industry and government continue listening to what
passengers are saying, and basing investment and operational
decisions around this."

Key findings include:

* 85 per cent overall satisfaction with train services
* satisfaction with value for money rises to 47 per cent
* individual operator value for money satisfaction varies
between 29 and 75 per cent
* punctuality remains the key driver of rail passenger
satisfaction.

Survey reveals variation in bus passenger satisfaction
Passengers waiting for their bus in some parts of England may
be asking themselves today why their buses aren’t as good as
those in Nottingham, Oxfordshire or Devon.  

These are the findings of the latest Bus Passenger Survey [5][IMG]
(BPS) which shows that passenger satisfaction with bus
services varies widely among different bus operators and local
authority areas.

Survey reveals bus passenger satisfaction varies widely by
area   [1]Passenger Focus
logo
                                   

Dear B, [4][IMG]

The latest Bus Passenger Survey, published today by independent
watchdog Passenger Focus, shows that passenger satisfaction with bus
services varies widely among different bus operators and local
authority areas. It surveyed 22,000 bus passengers across 20 areas
of England and looked at many factors of passengers’ journeys such
as punctuality, frequency, helpfulness and attitude of the driver
and value for money.

Key findings are:

* overall satisfaction averaged 84 per cent with 19 points between
the highest and lowest area scores
* satisfaction with value for money ranged from 30 per cent to 70
per cent across the areas surveyed, averaging 54 per cent
* bus passengers in Nottingham were the most satisfied overall
with 92 per cent.

Anthony Smith, Passenger Focus chief executive, said

“Each year some 2.3 billion bus journeys are made in England outside
of London, meaning that passengers are not satisfied with around 375
million journeys. We hope this report will be a call to action for
transport authorities and bus companies to better work together to
improve things for passengers. In particular they should closely
examine how the high level of passenger satisfaction in places like
Nottingham, Oxfordshire and Devon has been achieved, and then look
to replicate it.”

Passenger Voice - April 2013

Dear B,

Franchising update

Passenger Focus has highlighted the need to ensure that the
passenger voice is boosted within the new, revitalised
franchising system process announced last month.
[2][IMG]
We have welcomed moves to get the franchise programme back on
track and will be working with the Government to ensure that
its plans to put passengers at the heart of this new process
are realised.

29,000 rail passengers have their say
Passengers from across Great Britain have given their views as
part of the world’s biggest published passenger satisfaction
survey.

Passenger Focus’s twice-yearly National Passenger Survey (NPS)
received over 29,000 responses from rail passengers making [4][IMG]
journeys from around 700 stations across the country.

We will now carefully analyse the surveys and publish the
results on 19 June 2013.

Delayed bus passengers call for better information and driver
attitude
Bus passengers are calling for better information during delays
and a more customer-focused approach from bus drivers. Those
are the key findings of new research by Passenger Focus. 

Passengers taking part in the research described being [6][IMG]
‘powerless’ when buses are delayed, feeling there is no way to
find out what is going on. In terms of solutions, passengers
have a clear preference for real-time information to be
displayed at bus stops, with smartphone and tablet apps playing
an important supporting role.

Tram Passenger Survey update
                                               
Passenger Focus has successfully completed a pilot Tram Passenger
Survey (TPS) in the West Midlands/Centro area, with over 650 passengers
taking part. The TPS was modelled closely on the Bus Passenger Survey –
this worked well on tram too with good comparisons able to be made
between the tram and bus results.

Passenger Focus,

[1]Bus passengers call for better information and greater customer-focus
from drivers
 

                                               

                                     

Bus passengers' experience of delays and disruption

                                               

Dear B,                                                    [3][IMG]

Passenger Focus has published new research into bus
passengers' experience of delays and disruption.  The key
findings are:

o bus passengers want better information during delays and
disruption, including more real-time running information
o bus passengers want a more customer-focused attitude from
bus drivers, particularly during disruption. 

Passengers taking part in the research described being
‘powerless’ when buses are delayed, feeling there is no way to
find out what is going on. 

In terms of solutions, there is a clear preference for
real-time information to be displayed at bus stops, with
smartphone and tablet apps playing an important supporting
role.

Anthony Smith, Passenger Focus chief executive, said: “There
are some important messages here for bus companies, local
authorities and government. Real-time departures information
helps passengers make an informed choice about what to do if
buses are delayed. It’s clear that passengers want this at the
bus stop, so the challenge is how to achieve that in an
affordable way. Smartphone apps also have an important part to
play.”

Passenger Focus will now work with the bus companies,
transport authorities and government to ensure that the issues
highlighted in this research are addressed.

arrived within the five or 10 minutes of schedule.

National Passenger Survey - satisfaction dips

                                               

Dear B,   [9][IMG]
                                                
We have now published our [1]Spring 2013 National Passenger
Survey (NPS). The views of over 60,000 passengers inform these
twice-yearly ratings for overall journey satisfaction. 
For the first time, we have also produced at-a-glance guides
to the [2]Great Britain, [3]Scotland and [4]Wales headline
results and recent trends.

Passenger Focus chief executive, Anthony Smith, said:
“Passengers are now the main overall funder of Great Britain’s
railway, so it is vital that their key needs are met. Given
that performance is the key factor that underpins most
passengers’ general view of the railway, train companies and
Network Rail must keep striving to get more trains on time.”

Key findings include:

* while satisfaction for many operators remains steady, a
number of larger operators, particularly in London and the
South East, have seen dips – especially in performance
* overall satisfaction is 82 per cent (down from 83 per cent
in spring 2012) 
* value for money on individual routes varies from 17 per
cent to 76 per cent
* satisfaction with sufficient room to sit and stand varies
on individual routes from 44 per cent to 95 per cent. 

The next survey will be published in January 2014.

Smart ticketing - what rail passengers want

                                               

Dear B, [3][IMG]
Rail passengers have a clear appetite for smart ticketing,
particularly if it means tickets are easier and cheaper to
buy. However, they were keen to understand how it would work
in practice. Smart ticketing – what passengers want is the
first in series of reports exploring passengers’ needs and
attitudes to smart ticketing.

Passengers expect any smart ticketing scheme to provide:

* value for money – some kind of cost saving, either via
cheaper fares or new cost-effective tickets and products
* convenience – need to be a convenient option that is easy
to use
* simplicity – especially for those unfamiliar with smart
technology/ticketing
* security – passengers need to be confident that their
money and personal data is secure
* flexibility – want to be able to choose and purchase new
products and tickets that offered flexible travel options 
* tailoring – need to provide passengers with the ability to
choose how they manage their account
* leading edge – used as an opportunity to lead the way in
ticketing technology rather than replicate existing
systems.
