TransPennine Express cancellations MASSIVELY under-reported as 'between 250 and 450' train services axed per week
Rail bosses claim reliability statistics from under-fire operator TransPennine Express are being 'masked' by its continuing use of 'infuriating' pre-planned service cancellations as late as 10pm the night before.
Combined with on-the-day cancellations, it means between a fifth and a quarter of all TPE trains being regularly cancelled, says the report. "TPE has been pre-cancelling anything between 250 - 450 trains per week since summer across its network due to crew unavailability. When taken with on-the-day cancellations, this has seen total weekly cancellations averaging between 20 - 25 per cent of its entire contracted services.
"Whilst the periods traditionally see declines in operational performance due to autumn, this year period 08 has seen Northern record a PPM of 7.3 per cent less than in 2021, TPE 9.7 per cent lower and Avanti 11.6 per cent worse.
