Monthly Performance Figures

The quality of Northern's trains and stations for the 4 weeks up to 7 January 2012

Northern doesn't just measure its train running performance. We will also tell you the results of our Service Quality Audits which we undertake in conjunction with the Passenger Transport Executives. This is a regular measure of the standards that Northern's customers expect on trains, on stations or in ticket offices every day. This covers such things as information provision, posters and signage, interior and exterior cleanliness, announcements, information screens, washrooms and shelters. We will also tell you how many customer contacts we have received.
