Network Rail response to ORR improvement notice - Euston Station

Region & Route:
National

Simon Bennett, Network Rail’s West Coast South route head of stations & passenger experience, said: " “Managing a popular and busy station like Euston is a daily challenge, a challenge that our dedicated cross-industry team rise to each day, always putting passengers’ well-being and safety at the forefront of their minds.

“Our team, along with the ORR, want to do more, which is why we have cleared the concourse of shops to make more room for our passengers. We’ve fitted new state of the art information boards, both inside and outside the station. We’re also now trialling earlier boarding of services with our train operating colleagues to help reduce crowding at peak times.

"The ORR has asked us to look at some other specific areas and our team, along with our train operating colleagues, are already on the case making further improvements."

About Network Rail

We own, operate and develop Britain's railway infrastructure; that's 20,000 miles of track, 30,000 bridges, tunnels and viaducts and the thousands of signals, level crossings and stations. We run 20 of the UK's largest stations while all the others, over 2,500, are run by the country's train operating companies.

Usually, there are almost five million journeys made in the UK and over 600 freight trains run on the network. People depend on Britain's railway for their daily commute, to visit friends and loved ones and to get them home safe every day. Our role is to deliver a safe and reliable railway, so we carefully manage and deliver thousands of projects every year that form part of the multi-billion pound Railway Upgrade Plan, to grow and expand the nation's railway network to respond to the tremendous growth and demand the railway has experienced - a doubling of passenger journeys over the past 20 years.
