Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many Thameslink trains were cancelled due to adverse weather conditions in the most recent period for which figures are available.

In the most recent full period available, 17 September 2023 to 14 October 2023, Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) operated 25,973 Thameslink services. GTR report that 4.4 per cent of services were cancelled due to traincrew issues, within which 0.9 per cent of services were cancelled due to traincrew sickness. 1 per cent of services were cancelled as a result of line infrastructure issues and one service was cancelled due to adverse weather. Services in this period were affected by industrial action, which led to a higher than normal number of cancellations.
