On Board Supervisors make a critical difference to our customers’ on-train experience. Our On Board Supervisors will keep you informed throughout the journey with information, help you when there are delays, check and validate tickets and help drivers manage the train to ensure smooth running. Whatever your journey needs, they will be there for you.
As an OBS, you will be visible at all times, anticipating the needs of the customer to meet their expectations. Our vision is to provide our customers with a welcoming, seamless, well-informed, consistent and relaxed travel experience which will encourage additional and repeat business whilst ensuring our customers consistently talk about our service positively.

No two days will be the same, and you’ll travel widely on our network, helping us make the best impact on our customers’ journeys possible.
