Long distance punctuality – Network Rail response to ORR decision
date Tuesday 29 May 2012 10:01 source Network Rail type Press release
Responding to the ORR’s call for Network Rail to improve its long distance performance, David Higgins, chief executive of Network Rail, said:
“We welcome the ORR’s recognition that we, and the train operating companies, have already done much to improve long distance punctuality in this control period – which is currently running at a record level of 89.2 percent for the past year – and we accept the challenge to deliver an even better service.
"We are determined to do all we can to achieve that through balancing the continued growth in demand with passengers’ desire for improved reliability in terms of punctuality.”
