      Passenger 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 the Northern have the responsibility for managing their relationship with their own customers, the interconnected nature of the rail industry dictates that a coordinated approach to the provision of passenger information during major delays/disruption is appropriate and important.

      Customer information pledges

      Customers across 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.

      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 practice from across the rail industry and other industries, to support you during disruption, enabling you to get to your destination as quickly as possible
