Abstract Crowded trains can adversely affect the experience of rail passengers and can cause practical issues for train operators. It is thought that some of these issues can be mitigated by providing better information to passengers and encouraging them to make different travel choices as a result. A pilot study was undertaken, in which rail passengers took part in a stated preference survey concerning the provision of information about crowding levels. It was found that some passengers would consider choosing a less crowded train, giving weight to the hypothesis underpinning the research.
