Your participation helps us understand reality and design better responses to railway disruptions.
Every experience helps us understand what happens when a journey is delayed, cancelled or can no longer continue as planned.

Why are we conducting this research?
Your participation helps us understand reality and design better responses to railway disruptions.
Every experience helps us understand what happens when a journey is delayed, cancelled or can no longer continue as planned.
The starting point
Why was this research created?
When a disruption affects rail transport, many people have to change their plans, find alternatives or deal with personal and financial consequences.
Listening directly to people who travel by train is the first step towards understanding how that experience can be improved.
How we will work
Methodology
1Open collection of passenger experiences.
2Thematic classification of responses.
3Qualitative and quantitative analysis.
4Identification of patterns and needs.
5Publication of results and findings.
6Application of the evidence to ARRE’s development.
Our commitments
Research principles
●We will listen to every opinion, including criticism.
●We will accept evidence that confirms or challenges our hypotheses.
●We will publish the process transparently.
●The findings will directly influence the development of ARRE.
The communication and participation strategy may be developed in collaboration with Aula Barcelona.
