PPM falls to 92.1%

This covers punctuality from September 15 to October 12 and compares to 92.3% for the same period in the previous year. PPM for period 6 this year was also 92.3%.
The moving annual average (MAA) is now at 90.7%.
The best performing franchise was c2c Rail at 97.8%, whose MAA is still top at 97.2%.
The worst PPM was First Transpennine Express, with 87.8%, and East Coast’s MAA is lowest again at 82.8%.
For Transpennine Express poor PPM results were caused by a continued industrial dispute compounded by a signalling fault at Selby, Network Rail reported.
Delays attributable to Network Rail accounted for 60% of total delays during the period.
