Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will provide performance data for each month from January 2015 to August 2016 for the Thameslink (a) 0657 Brighton to Bedford, (b) 0722 Brighton to Bedford, (c) 0748 Brighton to Bedford, (d) 0800 Brighton to Bedford, (e) 1550 Bedford to Brighton, (f) 1608 Bedford to Brighton, (g) 1626 Bedford to Brighton and (h) 1708 Bedford to Brighton service.

The Department does not hold train-level performance information. Both Network Rail and relevant train operators provide comprehensive data and reports to the Department, but punctuality of individual trains is an operational matter for the industry to manage.

The Rail Delivery Group has recently launched a new online tool which enables customers to track the punctuality and reliability record of any train on the national network over a period of up to a year, which can be found at: http://www.mytrainjourney.co.uk/ .
