About the job:

As a Customer Ambassador, you are essential to our customer's travel experience. Customers look to you for advice and information for buying the best ticket for their journey. You're knowledgeable and personable, which enables our customers to start their journey effortlessly and with a smile.

  • To help you deliver great customer service we will give you the tools for the job. These will range from the smart technology you will need to offer the best possible up to the minute information about our services to the outstanding training programme that will give you the knowledge to provide customers with the correct ticket for their journey.
