Question
What action will the Cabinet Secretary take to improve reliability of trains operated by Transport for Wales in light of 7.6 per cent of trains being cancelled between January and September 2025?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales
It is not true that 7.6 per cent of Transport for Wales services were cancelled between January and September 2025. The data published in a recent media article was erroneously calculated and the publishers of the original article have now apologised to Transport for Wales for the publication of the inaccurate and misleading information. Approximately 4.1 per cent of Transport for Wales services were cancelled between January and September 2025. Transport for Wales are working hard to reduce cancellations as they recognise the frustration these cause to passengers. In the most recent railway period, 2.6 per cent of Transport for Wales services were cancelled.
