Southern Rail has said sorry more than any other train company this year, according to a website that tracks apologies to customers – by apologising 111 times every DAY.

The beleaguered train company has said sorry to customers almost 38,000 times this year so far.

Southern has apologised 37,830 times in 2016 according to sorryfortheinconvenience.co.uk – who log how often train companies say sorry to customers on Twitter.

Thameslink, who also run services between Bedford and Brighton, has made 17,602 social media apologies.

Transport for London is the least contrite operator on the list with just 2,834 ‘sorrys’.

The website also holds data for South Eastern, Northern, Great Northern, Stagecoach, Virgin, TfL and Metrolink services.

Southern’s place at the top the table is not surprising in a year when it has faced repeated calls from the public and politicians to be stripped of its franchise due to the poor quality of its service.

The operator has been engaged in a long struggle with the RMT union over its plans to bring in driver-only operation of train doors on all services – while there have also been issues with network upgrades and staff shortages.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.

If you can afford to contribute a small donation to the site it will help us to continue our work in the best interests of the public. We only ask you to donate what you can afford, with an option to cancel your subscription at any point.
