In an effort to provide easier ways to book rail journeys, a local railway station has more than tripled staffing over the past few months to provide customers with the ability to book rail journeys with ease.

Bishop Trains, who manage the independent rail travel centre at Bishop Auckland Station, is extremely proud to have employed all of their staff from the local community, most straight from school.

“In addition to the counter service provided at the station, customers can now book their rail journey from the comfort of their own home by simply calling the travel centre on 01388-661394. This is an exciting addition to our services which we are certain will increase our already high customer satisfaction. Rail fares can often be difficult to understand, therefore our new telephone sales line provides the opportunity for anyone in the U.K. to speak to a rail ticket specialist who can advise on the best and cheapest way to travel”, said Luke Holmes, Head of Community Relations at Bishop Trains.
