To ensure a high performing network that

meets the needs of passengers, some

significant changes to the Thameslink network

are proposed from those that have been

previously announced

2018 Thameslink proposals

Network Rail has identified issues

with the proposed 2018 timetable

- 24tph development timetable to

be operated throughout the

Thameslink route

Whilst 24tph can be delivered

through the Thameslink Core,

there were presentation issues

across Sussex, Kent, Midland

Mainline and East Coast Mainline

routes

Why the timetable has to change

Page 24: Govia Thameslink Railway - APTU · 2016. 7. 7. · 2018 Thameslink proposals . Network Rail has identified issues with the proposed 2018 timetable - 24tph development timetable to

1. Services to and from Wimbledon Loop through the

Thameslink Core

2. Services from Brighton Main Line to Bedford

3. Services from Brighton Main Line to East Coast Main

Line

4. Midland Main Line – 6 high speed paths are required

5. East Coast Main Line – 8 high speed paths required

What couldn’t change

Page 25: Govia Thameslink Railway - APTU · 2016. 7. 7. · 2018 Thameslink proposals . Network Rail has identified issues with the proposed 2018 timetable - 24tph development timetable to

1. Retiming of services

2. Reallocation of stops

3. Changes to linkages north & south of “TL Core”

4. Remapping of services between operators

5. Minor infrastructure enhancements

6. Some additional rolling stock

7. Changes to rolling stock layout NOT Class 700

8. Removal of (GTR) train services where there is no

capacity to accommodate them

Proposals should offer value for money and be deliverable

What could change

Demand Analysis

Identifying where passengers travel currently

and predicting future flows is key to

developing a network that meets this need.

This is the first stage in any timetable

Summary of Kent options and recommendation

• Fails to resolve capacity issue at Windmill Bridge Junction therefore not considered suitable for further development 6tph

• Improves capacity issue at Windmill Bridge Junction

• Southwark Reversible and Line 4 infrastructure (not used in current plan) will be utilised as originally intended

• Allows potential for future train lengthening (Brent Cross / Luton Airport) without changes to train service or infrastructure (except stabling) as Medway via Greenwich route cleared for 12 car operation

• Divert Maidstone East services via London Bridge. Improves journey times and creates new journey opportunities

• Mitigates issues on East Coast Main Line by allowing flexible north to south links

8tph

• Reduction of Cannon Street services (already reduced from 25tph to 22tph) to less than 22tph

• Reduction of Thameslink trains via London Bridge to 14tph, increasing E&C to 10tph compromising the established business case

• Imports significant issues into London Bridge Low Level

• Too much conventional rolling stock required to back fill the loss of Class 700 units from Sussex

10tph

Southern South London Metro and Mainline: Simplification

Complex array of routes and frequencies exist serving

multiple markets

Poor performance impacts wider Network, via interworking of

crews and units with Southern Mainline

10-car metro introduced on multiple routes in 2013 to deliver

capacity but flexibility has reduced

Systematic review across the South London Metro area

required which should include:

1. Analysis of capacity and demand

2. Review of sectional running times and junction margins

3. Enhanced dwell times at key stations

4. Increased turnaround times at suburban stations

5. Simplified workings at terminal stations maximise 10-

cars on capable routes

6. Potential additional resources required

Complete review and recast involving the following services:

• London Bridge to West Croydon via Tulse Hill

• London Bridge to Beckenham Junction

• Victoria to London Bridge via Crystal Palace

• Caterham and Tattenham Corner routes

• Dorking / Epsom / Sutton routes

Changing the marketing model

Telling our story

Justin Baines, Head of Marketing

The role of marketing • This franchises puts us in a unique position to ultimately improve rail travel for

millions of customers

• This is through a period of investment to modernise (make more reliable) and improve (make more comfortable) the service on all of lines

• However, ensuring doing that means major changes to the hub of London Bridge station and the Thameslink ‘core’ of stations through London

• These changes to a still operating railway are causing more disruption to journeys than was forecast which requires a change in approach to everything we do, including marketing:

• We therefore need to:

– Identify the scale of and unique challenges we face

– Respond to them in a positive way that is appropriate to the many groups we must address

– Propose a new model of communications for the franchise which moves the emphasis away from selling to service, integrating what we do in meaningful ways to help our customers manage their journeys positively

Our narrative has to face challenges

We are running a new and complicated franchise on a network with sub

optimal capacity and resilience

Whilst it’s happening now, improving our rolling stock takes time

We are carrying more people than ever before, a number that is growing

even whilst we are building and a large percentage of those people rely on

us for their daily commute

Changes to the way we need to operate to offer better service and greater

resilience causes its own issues with our own people

Our ability to inform our customers in the way that they want and expect is

compromised (systems that work well enough in more normal situations are

not sufficient)

Frustrated customers communicate widely on social media faster than we

can give them information in our usual channels

Page 89: Govia Thameslink Railway - APTU · 2016. 7. 7. · 2018 Thameslink proposals . Network Rail has identified issues with the proposed 2018 timetable - 24tph development timetable to

Four key pillars of the new approach

WARN

Use all of the

information we have

on journeys to pre-

arm customers with

information.

People would rather

take control of their

own journey and

change their plans

than suffer an

avoidable delay

INFORM

To the best of our

ability, use every

channel available to

inform and empower

during their journeys

If we can direct to

helpful information

we can help people

take action,

understand and

respond

‘CELBRATE’

Tell people about

achievements, but

in bite-sized pieces

that make sense –

e.g. next month this

will be complete

Reframe

improvements as

helping journeys –

e.g. Wi-Fi = access

to better information

at no cost

APOLOGISE

Things will go

wrong. Both public

and individual

apologies help

Actively promote

Delay Repay

Increase cover in

social media

channels

Next steps

• Start with our own media channels

first and expanding to external media

when IR position is clearer

• Creating new executions as the

improvements happen across all

areas of customer’s journeys: better

information and apps, better service

on trains and in stations

• Maintaining an open approach to the

situation and driving for change from

all involved parties to the single focus

of improving the service we offer

Our plan is to make our staff more visible and available to everyone using the station by

bringing them out from the ticket office and on to the station concourse as Station

Hosts.

We know these changes are important to you, which is why we held a public consultation to hear

your views.

Overview

Page 111: Govia Thameslink Railway - APTU · 2016. 7. 7. · 2018 Thameslink proposals . Network Rail has identified issues with the proposed 2018 timetable - 24tph development timetable to

The public consultation held in February 2016 has been critical in

refining the Hosted Station concept and has allowed GTR to directly

address the concerns of the customer.

• GTR has worked to directly address each point and the responses have been supported by

London Travel Watch and Transport Focus.

• GTR are not planning to stop here. Ongoing engagement with the passenger groups and

disability groups will continue to help ensure the Modernisation delivers the best outcome

for all customers

• The common themes and questions are addressed in the following slides

Public Consultation

I want to be able to buy the

full range, and best value,

tickets from the station

We will be retaining the ticket office machines so that we can continue to

sell the full range of tickets (including railcards) that you can buy from

ticket offices today.

Our Station Hosts will be available to sell tickets and offer advice on the

best tickets for the journey you are making.

Ticket Availability

I want to be served by a

person; staff availability

will reduce

Our Station Hosts will be there to help you buy the most appropriate ticket for your journey and to

provide advice and information.

The only difference is that our Station Hosts will be helping you on the concourse instead of the

ticket office, so we can increase the availability of the staff to all customers using the station.

They will also be there for longer than the ticket offices are open today.

The stations where we are introducing Station Hosts will have a member of staff available from the

first service of the day to the last, seven days a week.

We will also have staff on platforms for train dispatch and assistance, as we do today.

Staff Availability

I want staff assistance

getting around stations and

onto trains

Our Station Hosts will be more visible and readily accessible to provide assistance

and information. At most stations there will be a Hosted Information Point so that it is

clearly recognisable where this assistance can be given.

Together with our platform staff who are unaffected by these changes, our Station

Hosts will be available to help anyone who requires assistance when travelling.

We are also working with disability user groups and other key stakeholders to ensure

we consider the needs of disabled passengers. Our Accessibility Impact Statement

outlines further details about the changes and how we are making things better for our

passengers with accessibility needs.

Station Accessibility

The ticket machines are not

always available or reliable

We continue to work with our suppliers to improve the functionality of our self-service

machines which already have high rates of reliability. Our ticket office staff help keep

these machines in service but at busy times cannot get out of the ticket office to fix

them or report any faults.

With our proposals, Station Hosts will be able to keep a closer eye on the ticket

machines as they will be on the concourse, not in the ticket office. The longer hours of

duty that Hosts are in place at stations will enable essential activities like topping up

tickets and change to be done at quieter times of the day and in readiness for peak

times.

We are installing 63 additional ticket machines across the network to meet the growing

demand for self service and are looking to make further ticket types available

vouchers.

Will queuing times

increase?

We are committing to maintaining the queuing standards that are in place today. You

will not have to queue for any longer to buy tickets.

We are developing station operating plans to ensure demand is met at each station,

providing additional staff as required at busier times or when special events are

taking place.

Queuing Times

I am concerned that the

service I receive at a station

will get worse

We strongly believe our plans are the right way to go but we understand that you’ll

have some concerns.

That’s why we plan to soft launch at a few stations that are changing to allow us to

prove that the concept works and refine our plans as necessary before we introduce

the changes more widely. We are determined to improve your experience at our

stations, not worsen it.

Station Experience

The modernisation will result in some very tangible benefits to the

customer and the quality of station service delivered by GTR.

• Increased staff presence to assist customers with ticket purchases, provision of information and

assistance

• Across 83 stations staff assistance with buying tickets will increase by over 2,600 hours a week compared

to current ticket office opening times

• 83 stations will be staffed from the first train of the day to the last train of the day

• Passengers will still be able to buy the full range of tickets at these station

• Station facilities, such as waiting rooms and lifts will be available for longer periods of the day

• Improved assisted travel arrangements and times of operation

• Improved safety and security for our passengers

• Increased number of TVMs available at stations

Benefit Summary

Modernising our Stations is a complex process involving staff, unions and customers.

The plan is to “Soft Launch” the concept in September 2016 with a view to refine the

concept ahead of full the conversion of stations

• The soft launch stations have been provisionally identified as City Thameslink, Polegate, Denmark Hill,

South Croydon, Enfield Chase, Battersea Park, Cricklewood, West Norwood and Royston

• We are continuing to work with our station teams and our trade unions on station by station operation and

implementation plans. This is not a ‘broad brush’ approach - service for customers and the safety of our

staff will be paramount in defining the station plans

• The acceleration of customer “Channel Shift” to new available technologies and products will be key to

facilitating the concept. This will be done by offering new technology and products, empowering staff to

help educate customers and a strong marketing campaign

• A training package is being developed to help to equip staff with the skills required to host a stations

including a renewed focus on customer service via the One Step Ahead initiative

• Although public consultation has ended, GTR will continue to work closely with the passenger bodies and

disability groups to ensure we deliver a service that meets the expectation of the customer
