 Despite the severe weather over the past month, eight out of 10 trains still ran to time and almost 92%, or 19,000 each weekday, of scheduled services ran.
Network Rail’s regular monthly report on train performance shows that during the four weeks from 13 December to 9 January, 80% of services arrived on time. This compares to 89.8% in period 10 last year. Train punctuality was certainly affected by the severe weather but a reasonable service was provided on almost all routes.
Says Robin Gisby, director of operations and customer service, ‘It’s been a difficult month and we have not delivered the railway that passengers have come to expect. Working closely with the operators, and despite the extreme weather, we have kept the railways open and most services ran with eight out of 10 services running to time.’
Two of the 19 operators - London Midland and East Midlands Trains even saw their performance improve compared to the same period last year.
