Passengers are especially frustrated with delay handling (only 46% satisfied) and overcrowding, while good delay management can turn 90% of travelers into satisfied customers. In contrast, Hull Trains and LNER shine with 90%+ satisfaction. Disabled passengers also report lower satisfaction, highlighting a critical gap. CrossCountry admits the results are disappointing and is rolling out fixes — including train refurbishments, timetable tweaks, and crowd management — pledging to improve accountability and service.
