Customer Charter

2010 Customer CharterCityRail's Customer Charter is our commitment to continually improving the service we provide to our customers every day. It focuses on the key areas that you have told us are most important to you.

Our commitment to you


We will deliver safe, clean and reliable passenger services that are efficient, sustainable and to the satisfaction of our customers. Customer service is a focus in all our activities, underpinned by the values of safety, teamwork, integrity, respect and continuous improvement.

The annual survey of customer satisfaction conducted by the Independent Transport Safety and Reliability Regulator, as well as many other sources of customer feedback, play a key role in determining our customer service priorities.

You can expect us to listen to your feedback and, where we can, to act on it.
