Thameslink: Looking After Customers
Summary
Throughout the Thameslink Programme the top priority was to look after customers
This was done through: maintaining train service capacity wherever possible; understanding the touch points prior to, during and after journeys; identifying the best journey options; providing an excellent communications; campaign covering each stage of the programme; highlighting the benefits achieved; ‘This is why… ‘; providing ticket acceptance on alternative routes and types of transport; recruiting additional staff to assist during the major engineering works; encouraging volunteers from the Train Operating Companies (TOCs), Network Rail and Department for Transport to assist.
