‘We are continuing to make major investment to improve our stations and trains, and today’s results are a clear sign that this is starting to have a real impact on our customers’ journeys.

‘Over the next year, we will be investing about £50m in a range of customer benefits, with the introduction of new customer ambassadors to deliver a more personalised service, the roll-out of 170 new, easy-to-use ticket machines, extra car parking spaces at key stations and new technology.’
