§ Mr. DarlingTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what proportion of London Underground trains run on time.
§ Mr. FreemanBecause of the very high frequency of many underground trains, comprehensive data on performance against timetables is not compiled. The Government monitor the average times that passengers wait for trains. In the first quarter of 1991, the average scheduled wait for a train was 2.5 minutes, the actual wait was 3.4 minutes.
