Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many and what proportion of rail services that ran from Tooting rail station were cancelled in the last 12 months.
During May 2022 to May 2023, Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) cancellation levels were 5.9 per cent across the network and 7.3 per cent at Tooting station. Reliability remains a priority for my Departments and I am encouraged by improvements in recent months; GTR’s Cancellations were 3.6 per cent over the most recent rail period between 30 April 2023 to 27 May 2023. This is GTR’s best cancellation performance since May 2021 and levels at Tooting over this same period totalled 2.6 per cent
