Forward look

The safety of our customers is of utmost importance to us and is planned for in all aspects of our work. A Customer Accident Steering Group has been established to provide a collaborative forum for stakeholders to share knowledge and expertise and identify target areas for improvement. The group has enlisted a Behavioural Scientist to help implement strategies to keep customers safe when travelling with us. This group is also refreshing our safeguarding policy to further protect our most at risk customers: children, the elderly and people of reduced mobility.
