Louise Haigh Demands Full Transparency on Train Performance Data

In a recent initiative aimed at improving rail service transparency, Transport Secretary Louise Haigh announced that passengers will soon have access to performance data at all train stations in England. This decision comes in response to ongoing frustrations among rail passengers regarding train delays and cancellations. According to the Office of Rail and Road, only 70.1% of planned train journeys were on time between April and June, with a noted increase in cancellations. Haigh emphasized the necessity for transparency to help the public hold train companies accountable for their performance. This measure is part of a broader strategy to enhance service quality and restore public trust in England's rail network.
