Converted WiFi users into a verified, measurable return for the rail operator.

The story

Challenge, solution, result.

Challenge

c2c operates rail services between London Fenchurch Street, Southend, and Shoeburyness across 26 stations and 28 trains, and wanted a branded, easy guest WiFi experience that would boost loyalty smartcard subscriptions, cut third-party OTA booking fees, and collect passenger feedback.

Solution

Purple deployed guest WiFi with its Micro-Survey tool across the network.

Result

Over the first 9 months, 81,601 unique users logged into the WiFi 343,340 times, and the passenger data let c2c validate a high share of emails and drive strong marketing opt-ins, projecting meaningful savings on OTA fees over a full year.
