Complex Fieldwork at National Scale
Case Study: Nationwide Rail Passenger Fieldwork
InsightX are currently responsible for the fieldwork element of the largest rail passenger survey ever undertaken: The Rail Customer Satisfaction Survey (RCXS), overseeing the full operational delivery since its launch in July 2025.
It is the largest ever Rail Passenger Survey, involving nearly 500 fieldworker shifts, and 16,000 responses, every 4-week rail period.
Every period has individual train operator targets, and 81 soft sub-quotas within these for specific routes, day, and time.
Passengers are recruited onboard specified trains nationwide, daily except Christmas Day, using recruit-to-web and recruit-to-CATI (replacing paper questionnaires), with weighted data is provided one week after each rail period closes, via an integrated API.
