I have recently visited the UK from Australia
I have recently visited the UK from Australia with my son sister and mother who is 88 years old Although my mum is in fine form for her age we required a wheelchair for most of our travels around the UK and London I have to say that both British Rail and all of their staff were without doubt the friendliest and most helpful people anywhere On every single occasion the staff were on hand with a ramp for my mum to help on and off the train Not only that but on each journey the staff asked for our destination and phoned ahead to have a fellow staff member ready with a ramp to help her off the train They were extremely informative friendly and went out of their way to help or advise us nothing was too much trouble for them Most people are very quick to criticise for bad experiences and it is not uncommon to hear bad reports about British Rail To them I say you need to travel an experience other countries you have some of the best workers on your railway that I have ever seen in any industry anywhere in the world I can t thank them enough for making our travels a pleasure I would like you to relay my review to all British Rail staff if possible you should be very proud of them David Quinn

Just received the most outstanding
Just received the most outstanding customer service experience I have ever had while visiting the Guildford Railway Station I used one of the counters because I am not too familiar with ticket types to buy tickets for my friends and myself and the gentlemen Alvaro saved a huge amount us money for us He was very kind and explained what kind of further options we have rather than a normal travel card Thank you so much again Alvaro

Excellent Rail journey
I recently travelled from Ipswich to Inverness with two changes at Peterborough and Edinburgh I am disabled and was travelling with my disabled elderly mum we were both in wheelchairs my brother and sister in law came with us as our carers I booked assistance at all stations which was amazing they were totally on the ball They were waiting for us on our arrival at Ipswich informative friendly and caring Unfortunately a freight train delayed us getting into Peterborough so we missed our connecting train They put us on the next available train so as not to delay us any further than necessary they upgraded us to First Class The service was wonderful There was a bit of a mix up at Edinburgh but that was soon corrected there was a wait of hour and a half for the next available train unfortunately but we were allowed to wait in the First Class lounge and use the facilities available and again we were upgraded to First Class on the next train We arrived at Inverness at 8 p m it was raining and we were all tired We were unsure of the whereabouts of our hotel apart from the fact we knew it was a 5 minute walk away The guard helped with our luggage to the train station entrance thinking we would have to navigate our way to the hotel from there the guard continued walking with us all the way to our hotel He went above and beyond the assistance service which National Rail offers It took twelve hours to get to Inverness but it was made so much more pleasant and comfortable with the help of the Rail Staff at all stations and on the trains We were so impressed with the friendly competent and informative way it was handled by all concerned including the lovely young lady who spent over an hour helping me book the assistance and getting it right The journey home went on time and again done with a great deal of helpfulness and efficiency Thank you National Rail Greater Anglia LNER and Scotrail
