Bus Services: Ashfield

Asked by Lee AndersonReform UKDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 23 June 2025UIN 60901

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department holds data on the number of bus services (a) delayed and (b) cancelled across Ashfield constituency in each of the last five years.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Department does not hold data on the number of services (a) delayed and (b) cancelled for Ashfield constituency.

The Department publishes average bus punctuality rates on the percentage of non-frequent bus services running on time and the average waiting time for frequent services on GOV.UK. This data is not available at constituency level, but is available for Nottinghamshire, the upper-tier local authority Ashfield constituency is part of.

More granular (daily, route-level etc.) punctuality data is provided through the Analyse Bus Open Data Service (ABODS). ABODS enables DfT, local transport authorities, and bus operators to view detailed performance metrics, including line-level, stop-level, and individual journey punctuality, as well as on-time, early, and late arrival patterns based on GPS data from buses.
