Great British Railways: Disclosure of Information

Asked by Mr Richard HoldenConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 18 November 2025UIN 90820

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what performance indicators Great British Railways will be required to publish on (a) punctuality, (b) reliability and (c) overcrowding.

Answered by Keir Mather

In March this year, we made station-specific performance information available to passengers for the first time. This shows reliability and punctuality at each station. GBR will be transparent in the operation of its passenger services. It will be for GBR, through its integrated business plan, which will be signed off by the Transport Secretary, to develop a view on how its key performance indicators are expressed. These will then be tested by the Office of Rail and Road. The Office of Rail and Road will have a role in monitoring GBR's performance and advising the Transport Secretary.
