Outstanding customer service is the heartbeat of any successful organisation, and in the rail industry it can define a passenger\u2019s entire journey. The Customer Service Person or Team Award celebrates those who go above and beyond to deliver exceptional experiences.<\/p>\n

Great service doesn\u2019t just solve problems; it builds trust, loyalty, and long-term confidence in rail travel. This award is our opportunity to honour the individuals and teams who turn everyday interactions into meaningful connections and keep customers returning.<\/p>\n

This award this year was presented to Grand Central\u2019s Customer Relations Team, whose achievements set a new standard for excellence. Over the past year, the team has resolved an impressive 98.6% of cases within 20 days, boosted customer satisfaction by 22%, and handled more than 42,000 interactions with unwavering professionalism and compassion.<\/p>\n

The team\u2019s proactive initiatives and cross-functional collaboration have driven real improvements across the business. It has transformed feedback into action, restored passenger trust, and created a compassionate, high-performing team culture that defines customer advocacy. Its work has not only elevated customer experience but strengthened the company as a whole.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is several years of hard work that\u2019s finally paid off for us and our customers,\u201d said Grand Central\u2019s Sarah Newton on behalf of the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are a small team, but the amount of work these guys get through – and how they support our customers – is exceptional.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Customer Service Team or Person Award was presented by Paul Dalgleish of Train\u2019d Up, a leading national provider of apprenticeships and work-based learning solutions.<\/p>\n

A long-standing supporter of the RailStaff Awards, Train\u2019d Up continues to champion excellence across the rail industry.<\/p>\n

Highly commended:<\/strong>
