Topic: Under 20 passengers per train - official. Over 50 passengers - actual (Read 2819 times)

Having just written a piece about skewed statistics (on the blog - see here), I notice that 2 trains were cancelled yesterday for definite, and 2 more were showing "no information" on the departure board at the time they were due ... so they probably didn't run either. Every cancelled train is a "double whammie" ... not only does it put people off trying the train again, but the passengers-per-train statistics that decision makers quote get skewed because they're based on trains scheduled in the timetable and not on trains actually run. |

I'm told that the lunchtime train that showed as "no report" did actually run, although it was late. I'll revise me best estimate for that day to say that 80% of trains probably ran, rather than 60%. It's still a far cry from targets of around 99% that are set and proudly said to be achieved on signs at stations ....
