Highlight Case Study – Customer Insight

Connected Places Catapult
Connected Places Catapult commissioned Mima to perform a multi-faceted research project, studying the passenger interchange experience at Bristol Temple Meads train station.
The project explored passenger journeys when connecting with the Bristol Ferry, the Airport Flyer bus, and via train to areas in the North of Bristol. The purpose of the research was to understand pain points during the act of interchanging, and opportunities to improve and enhance the experience. The intent of the research output was to inspire, inform and provide user centred insights for future innovators to develop, and subsequently test their design interventions at the CPC Bristol Station Innovation Zone.
