Provenance
About this data
Where these numbers come from and what they mean, in the one place a reader will look for it.
Source
Network Rail / Office of Rail and Road — Public Performance Measure (PPM), via the LopoRail performance feed.
Metric
PPM: the share of recorded station stops arrived at within one minute of the timetable.
On time
A stop counts toward PPM when it is early or less than one minute late.
Late
Stops one minute late up to the very-late threshold.
Coverage
Great Britain national rail, with a per-operator breakdown.
Not an official Network Rail statistic. Rolling PPM is a 12-week average. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0
