Greater Anglia improves punctuality for Bishop’s Stortford …
Greater Anglia trains arriving in Bishop’s Stortford, Sawbridgeworth and Stansted are more punctual now than they were pre-Covid, new data suggests.
According to the Office of Rail and Road, 81.7% of the operator’s West Anglia line and Stansted Express services were early or within a minute of their slot over the last financial year (2022-23).
The train operating company (TOC) also had the lowest “cancellation score” in Hertfordshire – 1.5%.
Pre-pandemic, in 2019-20, its trains arrived on time or within a minute of the scheduled slot only 69.9% of the time.
The data covers all of its routes – in London, Hertfordshire, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Norfolk.
A Greater Anglia spokesman told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: “We are very pleased to be welcoming more people back to the railway while delivering a safe and punctual service.
“We are now operating an entire fleet of brand-new trains in Hertfordshire, which are longer and have more seats, Wi-Fi, air conditioning and underfloor heating.
“We will continue to build on this good work to further improve punctuality and reliability on our network.”
