Press release -
Chance for London Euston passengers to have their say
Passengers using London Northwestern Railway (LNR) services at London Euston will have a chance to discuss their service with senior managers this week.
As part of the ‘Whistle Stop Tour’ initiative, LNR officials will be on hand to answer questions during the evening peak at the popular station on Wednesday 2 October.
The session follows the introduction of LNR’s new timetable in May which brought in more peak time services, increased capacity and both earlier and later departures from London Euston throughout the week. The changes benefited passengers travelling for both work and leisure – including those using rail services during evenings and weekends.
Jonny Wiseman, customer experience director for London Northwestern Railway, said:
“Our timetable improvements introduced more direct services to destinations across our network and improved capacity on some of our busiest services.
“In order to accommodate these changes it was necessary to alter train times and carriage formations and we know that some passengers will have had to adjust their journeys.
“We have already taken on board feedback from across the LNR network and I am pleased these ‘Whistle Stop Tour' events will give our passengers another chance to discuss our timetables and services directly with our staff.”
The 'Whistle Stop Tour' visits London Euston on Wednesday 2 October from 7.30am-7.30pm.
