We have approximately 4,000 staff, most of whom work at our stations and on our trains.Southern began providing train services in 2001 when the remaining two years of the Connex South Central franchise were bought out. At the time, we were called South Central. In 2003, the new franchise, which was to run from 2003 until 2009 was awarded to Govia (Southern's parent company) and shortly after, in 2004, South Central became Southern. Since then, we have invested over £1billion in two new train fleets, on refurbishing our stations and trains and on a comprehensive train depot upgrade programme. We have also worked hard towards improving train service punctuality and reliability which has culminated in the consistent achievement of record levels of performance, the latest of which was 95% of every Southern train, every day, reaching its destination on time over a four-week period.
