The Public Performance Measure is a measurement of operator punctuality against the planned services for the day. This information is published on the Government website. The rail industry works to a 4-week period (13 such periods a year) not monthly; year start is 1st April.

The information regarding South West Train’s performance by 4-week period can be seen at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/proportion-of-trains-running-on-time

The Public Performance Measure Moving Annual Average by period from January 2009 is as follows:

The moving national average for performance for this year can be seen on Network Rail’s website at:

http://www.networkrail.co.uk/about/performance/?cd=1.

There was no monthly national punctuality target in Control Period 4 (2009-14); the Office of Rail Regulation set annual targets by sector (Scotland, Long-Distance, Regional and London & South East). These targets can be seen at: http://orr.gov.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0011/2180/383.pdf
