Our Performance

Public Performance Measure (PPM)

We measure our ‘Public Performance Measure’ (PPM) by looking at how many of our scheduled trains are on time. The PPM, which is a national industry standard, combines figures for punctuality and reliability into a single performance measure. We publish our PPM every four weeks. You can see our latest report here.
For long distance services such as ours, PPM is defined as those trains arriving at their final destination within 10 minutes of the planned arrival time.

Right-Time Arrival

We are also measured against a right-time arrival performance target, defined as arrival within 59 seconds of the planned arrival time.

If you have been delayed on our services by 30 minutes or more you can claim through our compensation scheme, Delay Repay.
