Merseyrail keeps crown for Best Performing Regional Rail Operator

For the fourth year in a row, Merseyrail has taken the crown for best performing regional rail operator at the Golden Whistle Awards.

Merseyrail was given the accolade at an awards ceremony in London. The awards are based on operational performance statistics.

Zoe Hands, Chief Operating Officer at Merseyrail, said: “To win this award for a fourth consecutive year is not only testament to a fantastic team who deliver the best train service in Britain, it’s a real point of pride for our part of the country.

“We are relentlessly focused on keeping the Liverpool City Region number one as we realise fantastic public transport is an essential component of a vibrant and successful local economy and connected community.

“Like any good operator, however, we don’t do this alone. We rely on brilliant service partners at Network Rail, Merseytravel, Stadler, British Transport Police, and Carlisle to name a few.

“Without their input and dedication we wouldn’t be number one for punctuality so this award is really shared by all those who help us stay on the leading edge of passenger rail transport.”
