How we are performing

c2c are committed to providing you with important and up-to-date information regarding performance. We publish information on our On Time performance, which measures all station calls that start, arrive at any intermediate station or destination within 59 seconds. And we publish the “Time to 3” metric (T-3), which calculates the number of trains that arrive within three minutes of schedule.

Within 1 minute = On Time performance measures the percentage of station calls which departed origin, arrived at intermediate calls and arrived at destination early or within 59 seconds of schedule.

Time to 3 (T-3) = The percentage of recorded station stops arrived at early or less than three minutes after the scheduled time.

Cancellations

Full = if the train ran less than half of its planned journey.

Part = If the train ran at least half but not all of its planned journeys or it skipped stops on route.

How we manage disruption

The rail industry has produced a Code of Practice which sets out guidance and good practice in providing information to customers during times of disruption.

c2c make use of this as a framework for delivering timely, correct and consistent information to you during major disruption and delays to help you make well-informed travel decisions. You can read about our approach in our Local plan for passenger information during disruption 2019

How customers rate our performance

Our Rail User Survey regularly asks a representative sample of 2000 people across Great Britain about their public transport use. Those who used rail in the last seven days are asked about their overall satisfaction with their most recent rail journey and with aspects such as value for money, punctuality and cleanliness.

The last survey was conducted in Spring 2024. Here are our scores for overall journey satisfaction and how we performed against the average London commuter service:

NRPS Wave c2c Score London and South East Average
March 2023 - February 2024 92% 87%
September 2023 - February 2024 91% 86%

Internal customer satisfaction scores

Our in-house customer satisfaction survey, initiated in June 2023, has garnered over 3500 individual responses to date. In comparison to the Rail User Survey, it encompasses a broader spectrum of questions.
