“We are not complacent, however, and there remains more work to do in delivering consistent levels of train service performance for our customers across London and East Anglia and we will continue to work with our colleagues at Network Rail, focusing on further improvement.”

* Ai-Ping Rashid, Greater Anglia ticket office worker at Stratford station, scored a perfect 100 per cent for his customer service skills in a recent “mystery shopping” survey.

Her area manager, James Henry, said his colleague’s actions and attitude “espouse the company’s core values of efficiency and customer focus.”

He added: “She consistently deals with the public in a positive way, providing proactive and quick assistance.”
