Information request and response under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.
Information requested
My request concerns all trains running and/or cancelled, specifically on: Saturday 21st September, between Stirling and Edinburgh.
Response
Please find below the information you requested:-
| Saturday 21 September 2019 – Trains between Stirling and Edinburgh | |
| Trains planned to run on 21 Sept between Stirling and Edinburgh | 104 services |
| Percentage of trains which ran on time (that is, arrived within 5 minutes of the timetabled arrival time) |
64.4 percent |
| Percentage of trains cancelled | 22.1 percent |
| Number of cancellations and incidents of significant lateness (that is, a train arriving more than half an hour late) |
23 services |
I understand that the reason for the significant disruption on Saturday 21 September 2019 was as a result of signal failure at Newbridge West Junction, west of Edinburgh. This resulted in ScotRail incurring in total: 1,665 minutes of train delay, 93 cancellations and 104 incidents of cancellations or significant lateness, across all its operations that day.
