We are committed to delivering the highest standards of safety, performance and customer care. To help us achieve and maintain service excellence we welcome your comments. We recognise that on occasions things do go wrong and our Passenger’s Charter explains what we will do in such circumstances. Copies of our Charter can be obtained from any First TransPennine Express train station or from the Customer Relations team.
Equally, we would like to know what you particularly enjoyed, how well our staff at our train stations and on board our trains looked after you. If one of our staff was especially helpful then feel free to let us know – and we will let them know. It all helps us to keep improving our rail service and to continue to provide you with a journey experience you will be happy to repeat.
