Railways: Standards
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what proportion of trains arrived (a) on time and (b) within three minutes in the last six months.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
The rail industry uses four-weekly rail periods rather than calendar months for reporting performance figures. The average punctuality over the most recent six rail periods, based on arrivals at all recorded station stops, and covering all operators in Great Britain between 8 December 2024 and 24 May 2025 is as follows:
On Time: 68.3%
Within 3 minutes: 85.9%.
