Customer information during disruption
Feedback from customers consistently tells us that the flow of information about train services that are experiencing disruption is a priority for them, and is an area we need to focus on more strongly. Whilst it is recognised that Northern has the responsibility for managing our relationship with our customers, the interconnected nature of the rail industry means that a coordinated approach with industry partners to the customer information during major delays/disruptions is appropriate and important.
Whilst we always try our best to make your journey as simple as possible, we understand that sometimes things don’t always go to plan when travelling by rail.
The Smarter Information programme
Customers across the rail industry tell us that this is an area we need to improve, which is why Northern has been working closely with other train operators, Network Rail and the Rail Delivery Group as part of the Smarter Information programme.
This programme aims to achieve a step change in customer experience through providing you with improved information, when and how you wish to receive it.
Across the rail industry, we have now agreed a set of pledges, which outline what you can expect, before, during and after your journey.
What do the Customer Information Pledges say?
The customer information pledges:
- Show we care by listening to our customers and putting their needs first
- Commit to a set of guiding principles that will bring real consistency to customers who choose to travel by train
- Bring together best practices from across the rail industry and other industries to support you during disruption, enabling you to get to your destination as quickly as possible
