The last we ran one of these stories on Manchester Metrolink performance the headline was \u201cPunctuality up, reliability down\u201d and this time it\u2019s the complete opposite as punctuality has fallen and reliability has gone up! As has often been the case since Covid hit the report released covers three consecutive reporting periods \u2013 from 18th<\/sup> October 2020 (period 8) to 9th<\/sup> January 2021 (period 10). Although there has been a fall in punctuality it is only a small decrease and the increase in reliability is more than 2% so it is a generally positive picture for how the system continues to operate.<\/p>\n
