Value for money has improved 11% to 53% compared to a London and South East average of 43%.

The survey revealed that all service scores have improved and internal analysis of customer travel patterns carried out recently between plane and train resulted in new investment in service standards.

Availability of staff at both the station and the train rose to 85% and 86% respectively versus a national average of 66% and 44%.

Attitude and helpfulness of staff also increased to 92% and 93%.
