• Complaints procedure

    If you have already come to us with a question or a problem but you are not happy with our response, then you have a right to complain.

  • In fact, we want to hear from you so that we can put things right as quickly as possible.

    How to complain

If your complaint relates to such a dispute, it will probably fall outside the scope of the complaints procedure. In that case it will be forwarded to the appropriate department in Network Rail for their response.
