1 1.1 Methodology 1.28 Questionnaires are normally handed out at stations to customers about to board a train. A reply paid envelope is provided for returning questionnaires. Each Train Operating Company (TOC) is sampled separately. Interviewers are given a number of questionnaires to hand out at a station. At Gatwick and Heathrow Airports and for some shifts at certain London termini and other large stations, questionnaires are handed out to passengers of a specific TOC. From onwards, at all other stations, questionnaires are handed out to passengers of any TOC (in the past, these were also targeted). The number of questionnaires handed out will depend on: - the size of station - time of day - length of shift. TOC data is compiled to provide a national sample. Fieldwork takes place each (February/March) and (September/October); until fieldwork duration was weeks. In, fieldwork was extended to an 11 week period, from 26 August to 9 November, to provide a better representation of journeys. Quotas for returned questionnaires are set overall and by weekday/weekend, journey purpose and station size. All data for a TOC in this Report is weighted up to the number of passenger journeys annually on the TOC and the profile of those journeys by: - weekday/weekend - journey purpose (Commuter, Business, Leisure) - station size (this profile is applied for each TOC building block). The data for number of journeys and profiles by these variables was generated from ORR data (12-1), and informed by ticket sales information and some consultation with TOCs. The stations for each TOC were stratified by number of passengers and a number of stations in each size stratum is sampled. This sample design and weighting ensures that data is representative of all passenger journeys made on each TOC. National results are constructed by combining data for all TOCs together, weighting by number of journeys. From 7 standard region definitions have been used replacing older rail regions. Analysis for the old regions is available on request. For more details of NRPS methodology, visit www.transportfocus.org.uk 1.1 Methodology 2
1 1.2 Issues affecting 1.28 fieldwork 16 (Wave 4) Fieldwork for Wave 4 (including boosts) was undertaken between the 11th January and th March 16. Due to poor weather and a resulting landslide affecting particular routes during fieldwork, a small number of fieldwork shifts were unable to be completed and were replaced. Service suspension of Heathrow Connect services for about two weeks towards the end of fieldwork meant that quite a large number of shifts could not be completed for this TOC. This means that the sample size is lower than normal, although the results are still robust at TOC level. As with previous waves, planned and unplanned engineering works/problems meant that some other shifts were also rescheduled (this particularly affected shifts during weekends). As usual, shifts were only rescheduled if the engineering work caused a station or line closure. Whenever possible the shifts went ahead as planned if there were still train services running. scores are the subject of technical query and may need to be revised at a future date - as such the current scores should be treated as provisional. 1 (Wave ) Fieldwork for Wave (including boosts) was undertaken between the 1st September and 12th November 1. As with previous waves, planned and unplanned engineering works/problems meant that some other shifts were also rescheduled (this particularly affected shifts during weekends). As usual, shifts were only rescheduled if the engineering work caused a station or line closure. Whenever possible the shifts went ahead as planned if there were still train services running. 1.2 Issues affecting fieldwork
1 1.2 Issues affecting 1.28 fieldwork 1 (Wave 2) Fieldwork for Wave 2 was undertaken between 18th January and 29th March 1. From 1st March 1 Virgin Trains East Coast took over the East Coast franchise. This meant that shifts targeting East Coast were conducted prior to the operator change. Due to engineering works affecting services on South West Trains Island Line (on the Isle of Wight) up to th March 1, all shifts targeting Island Line had to be completed during the last week of fieldwork. As with previous waves, planned and unplanned engineering works/problems meant that some other shifts were also rescheduled (this particularly affected shifts during weekends). As usual, shifts were only rescheduled if the engineering work caused a station or line closure. Whenever possible the shifts went ahead as planned if there were still train services running. 14 (Wave 1) Fieldwork for Wave 1 was undertaken between 1st September and 9th November 14. Govia Thameslink Railway took over the franchise previously operated by First Capital Connect on 14th September 14. This meant that fieldwork at stations operated by Govia Thameslink Railway, as well as shifts involving passengers travelling on Govia Thameslink Railway did not start until that date. Due to some additional booster samples being commissioned after the main survey fieldwork had begun, a small amount of fieldwork overran by a few days, ultimately extending the fieldwork period for some boost samples until 1th November; this affected boost samples only and not the main survey, results of which are shown in this report. As with previous waves, planned and unplanned engineering works/problems meant that some other shifts were also rescheduled (this particularly affected shifts during weekends). As usual, shifts were only rescheduled if the engineering work caused a station or line closure. Whenever possible the shifts went ahead as planned if there were still train services running. 1.2 Issues affecting fieldwork 4
