MAJOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION BOOST FOR NET Nottingham s tram network has received a massive vote of confidence from customers, ranking it as one of the country s most popular light rail systems.

2 MAJOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION BOOST FOR NET Nottingham s tram network has received a massive vote of confidence from customers, ranking it as one of the country s most popular light rail systems. An independent national survey has given NET an impressive overall customer satisfaction rating of 97 per cent four points ahead of the industry average. General Manager, Paul Robinson explained: The results are fantastic. To receive such a high overall satisfaction score fully reflects the hard work and commitment demonstrated by our staff each and every day. In a number of key areas we ve improved on previous surveys and, across the board, NET has outperformed the industry average. The in-depth study was conducted by the nationally respected Transport Focus organisation last autumn alongside similar surveys in Sheffield, the West Midlands, Manchester, Edinburgh and Blackpool. The research found 96 per cent of NET customers were satisfied with service punctuality, up three points on the previous survey, and 93 per cent were satisfied with journey times. The interior cleanliness of trams and value for money also scored highly. Nottingham City Council s Portfolio Holder for Strategic Infrastructure and Communication, Cllr Jon Collins, said: We hold the tram operators to very high standards and I m very pleased that through an independent national survey its passengers are telling us that they continue to deliver a reliable, fast and frequent service for residents and visitors to Nottingham.

3 LOCAL PUPIL HAS STORY UNVEILED ON TRAM Stories On The Trams WINNER Trinity Cooper The Farnborough Academy (Clifton) Born here, living here, loving here NET recently celebrated the inaugural National Writing Day by unveiling a short story written by a local pupil on tram 232. The original piece of writing by Trinity Cooper, a student at Farnborough Academy, was the winner of the Stories on the Trams competition jointly run by NET and First Story, a national literacy charity dedicated to getting everyone writing. The event is backed by the Nottingham UNESCO City of Literature and their patron Nottingham born BAFTA nominated writer, Billy Ivory. The initiative gave local students the challenge of creating six-word stories exploring their ideas of Nottinghamness. Trinity s story Born here, living here, loving here was selected following a public vote and will now be displayed inside tram 232, which is named after Mr Ivory. Stephanie Moss-Pearce, NET s Assistant Marketing Manager, said: Stories on the Trams is a project we ve been very proud to be involved in. We received lots of great entries from students across Nottingham that celebrated our city s sense of identity. Trinity s story in particular seemed to capture the imagination of those who voted. We hope that many more customers will get to see the story too, now that it will be displayed on the inside of one of our trams.
