Railways: Train Cancellations

Question
Whether they are able to provide information on passenger train cancellations and delays broken down by (a) day of week; (b) route; and (c) franchise.
Answer

Train running data for the Rail Network as a whole are collected and processed by Network Rail. The department holds information on passenger train cancellations and punctuality broken down by franchise but not by the day of the week or route. The following table shows the total cancellations suffered by each franchised train operator for the year to 19 August 2006, the most recent available figures. Punctuality is measured using the public performance measure (PPM) expressed as a moving annual average (MAA). This measure is also included in the table.
