Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many and what proportion of rail services that ran from train stations in Enfield North constituency were cancelled in the last 12 months.

The stations in Enfield North are served by a number of train operators. In the period May 2022 to May 2023, Greater Anglia had a cancellation rate of 1.6 per cent across the network and an average of 2.57 per cent on the route serving Waltham Cross, Enfield Lock and Brimsdown. Govia Thameslink Railway had levels of 5.9 per cent across the network and 5.7 per cent between Gordon Hill, Crews Hill and Enfield Chase.

Cancellations remain a priority for my Department, and I am encouraged by strong improvements in recent months, including the best cancellation rates since May 2021 in the most recent rail period of 30 April to 27 May 2023.
