Railway Staff Challenges
Railway station staff in the UK face key challenges, including simplifying complex ticketing structures, managing real-time updates on delays and disruptions, supporting passengers with disabilities, meeting high customer service expectations, providing accurate schedule and platform information, and staying well-trained despite evolving procedures. These issues strain staff resources and impact service quality.
How these problems are addressed
Live arrivals & departures
Real-time notifications and alerts for delays, cancellations and alternative routes, including buses and other forms of transport.
Ticket Prices
User friendly fare calculator for national and metro services.
Live train map
A live train map provides real-time tracking of train locations and movements.
Journey Planner
The journey planner helps staff assist passengers to find the best routes and schedules for their trips.
Content Management System
A CMS allows management staff to easily update and manage the maps and guides within the app.
Maps & Guides
Comprehensive knowledge with training documents and immediate access to essential information.
The Customer Experience App addresses these challenges by incorporating several key features: an intuitive fare calculator to simplify ticketing and fare structures; real-time notifications and alerts to keep staff informed about delays, cancellations, and alternative routes; detailed maps and guides to aid staff and passengers, an in-built journey planner and live train map. Staff and passengers will benefit from this information and lead to improving customer service efficiency.
