Railways: Standards

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport pursuant to the answer of 12 June 2008, Official Report, column 405W, to the hon. Member for Chipping Barnet (Mrs. Villiers) on railways: standards, for what reason and upon what date her Department ceased to gather data on the causes of train cancellation.
Answer

Operational data on rail performance, including the reasons for each cancellation, is compiled by Network Rail and agreed with other rail industry parties.The Department for Transport receives higher level information on rail performance, but does not monitor the operation of every train. This has been the case since the start of rail franchising in 1996.
