§ Mrs. Bridget PrenticeTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what percentage of trains on Network SouthEast commuter services into London were late in the latest 12 months for which figures are available.
§ Mr. FreemanFor the 12-month period to 5 November 1993, 89 per cent. of Network SouthEast's morning and evening peak services trains arrived within five minutes of the advertised time. This includes some trains which did not begin or end their journeys in central London. The comparable figure for the previous 12 months was 85.6 per cent. There has therefore been a significant improvement in the quality of service for passengers.
