How can we help?

Yes, London North Eastern Railway have been operating a Quieter coach and feedback from customers has been positive.

Nearly 90 per cent of respondents to a Transport for New South Wales in Australia survey on the quieter coach trial said travelling in quieter carriages had improved their overall travel experience.
 

There are no plans at present to introduce the Quieter coach on other routes.

Priority Seating is available on all our services and are available for those who need them most, like customers with a disability which can often be hidden, a customer who is pregnant and elderly customers.
Hidden disability, sometimes termed invisible disability, is defined as a disability that is not immediately apparent. 80% of disabilities are invisible.
The Priority Seating area is located close to the entrance on all our train sets to make it as easy as possible for customers.
Most people are happy to give up their seat to someone more in need of it. Simply show your JAM card or Please Offer Me A Seat badge to someone sitting in a priority seat and they’ll see that you have a need for one of these seats. 
Our customers have told us that this helps to avoid embarrassment. You are not guaranteed a seat if the priority seats are already taken by others with priority cards or who otherwise needs to sit down.
