(asked on 28th October 2026) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 8 September 2026 to Question 21985 on Railways: Rolling Stock, whether the technical issue preventing the provision of short-formation data for Greater Anglia for reporting periods 2610 to 2704 has been resolved; and if she will publish the number and percentage of short-formed services for Greater Anglia in each of those periods.
The technical issue affecting the provision of Greater Anglia’s Short Formation data has been resolved. The numbers requested are as below:
Greater Anglia monitored services measured against Morning Peak Services and Evening Peak Services:
Period | Number of Short Formed Services | Percentage of Monitored Services |
Period 2610 | 2 | 0.10% |
Period 2611 | 7 | 0.29% |
Period 2612 | 21 | 0.88% |
Period 2613 | 22 | 0.83% |
Period 2701 | 23 | 1.01% |
Period 2702 | 16 | 0.70% |
Period 2703 | 11 | 0.42% |
Period 2704 | 16 | 0.57% |
The department monitors short formations based on the passenger capacity of the trains rather than the number of carriages. The above is data for the number of short-formed services and the percentage based on what is monitored for Greater Anglia. Please note that the percentages for each operator in Question 29185 are not comparable and do not represent the total number of services for each operator.
