How we're performing

Overall punctuality

Whether it’s getting to that big business pitch in time, or heading home to pick the kids up from school, we know your time is precious. Unfortunately, delays happen. We all wish they didn’t but sometimes, it’s out of our control.

Every month we share useful information to help you understand just how punctual we really are.
