🚧 Our new research shows road users do not widely understand symbols (squares, diamonds, circles) on diversion signs. We're working with National Highways to improve trust in diversions, making sure drivers feel confident navigating roadworks. Find out more: https://ow.ly/NONH50TMlLQ #Diversions #Roads #Roadworks
About us
We protect the interests and champion the needs of all transport users. We ensure they’re at the centre of tomorrow’s policy decisions and that future investment in the transport network is focused on their needs and experiences. We listen to the public and find out their experience of using, or trying to use, Great Britain’s railways and England’s buses, coaches, trams and motorways and major ‘A’ roads. We bring together transport providers and share these views so problems can be fixed but if they are more challenging to resolve, publish an improvement plan. Our analysis, drawn from data and insight across the industry, puts the voice of the transport user at the heart of decision making – in Westminster, Cardiff, Holyrood and with the Mayors of our great city regions. Follow us on X @transportfocus and our Chief Executive @AlexRobertsonTF.

🚌 Transport Focus collaborated with East Sussex County Council to assess the impact of changes funded by £13m from the Government’s Bus Service Improvement Plan. These changes included enhanced service frequencies, more evening and weekend options, updated fares and ticketing with new discounts, and the introduction of the Flexibus demand-responsive service. Local bus operators have praised the research, which has already led to significant improvements. 🔗 Find out more in Transport User Voice: https://ow.ly/O4hi50TQC6u #Bus

Earlier this year, passengers at Kenilworth brought to our attention that almost all journey options to Birmingham were showing as ‘sold out’ or ‘not available’—especially for day-of-travel tickets. After investigating, we found Avanti West Coast's ticketing system was restricting ‘walk up’ tickets for local journeys. We raised this issue, and Avanti agreed to modify its approach. As a result, tickets are now available for Kenilworth to Birmingham and similar journeys in most circumstances.
