From circa 1991 - "The Passenger's Charter is a statement of our commitment to provide a high quality service for our passengers" ... "The Charter is the beginning. We aim to improv standards over time, and to develop and improve services in a way that will clearly show our intent to care for our passengers".  - Sir Bob Reid, Chairman, British Railways Board

It is really interesting to look back at this - a 24 page (including covers) document nearly 30 years later.

How has it changed today?    What have we gained and what has been lost?

You can see where Andrew Haines, Chief Executive of NR» (Network Rail - home page) is coming from with the "Putting Passenger First" NR organisation change "to make sure we deliver the best possible service to our passengers and freight customers".
