Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many scheduled passenger services were short-formed in each month by (a) LNER, (b) Southeastern, (c) TransPennine Express, (d) South Western Railway, (e) c2c, (f) Greater Anglia, (g) West Midlands Trains and (h) Greater Thameslink Railway in each month since 4 July 2024; and what proportion of all scheduled passenger services operated by each operator did this represent.

The Department monitors short formations on targeted groups of services where the potential impact on passengers is greatest. Attached (Annexe A) is the data for the number of short-formed services and the percentage of monitored services this represents for each operator. As the monitored services differ between operators, the percentages are not directly comparable and do not represent the total number of services for each operator.
