With two periods worth of stats released as part of the latest Manchester Metrolink performance figures it would be fair to say there is a fluctuating picture for anyone who has been travelling on the network as it very much up one period, down the other, then up again! These stats cover the eight week period between 7th<\/sup> February and 31st<\/sup> March 2021.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Punctuality<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trams departing less than 2 minutes late<\/em><\/p>\n

Period 12 (7th<\/sup> February to 6th<\/sup> March) \u2013 92.8%<\/p>\n

Period 13 (7th<\/sup> March to 31st<\/sup> March) \u2013 94.4%<\/p>\n

Previous period 94.6%<\/p>\n

Highest performing line over the joint period 12 and 13 \u2013 East Didsbury 97.7%<\/p>\n

Lowest performing line over the joint period 12 and 13 \u2013 Oldham and Rochdale 90.1%<\/p>\n

Reliability<\/strong><\/p>\n

Planned miles operated<\/em><\/p>\n

Period 12 (7th<\/sup> February to 6th<\/sup> March) \u2013 95.5%<\/p>\n

Period 13 (7th<\/sup> March to 31st<\/sup> March) \u2013 97.1%<\/p>\n

Previous period 97.4%<\/p>\n

Highest performing line over the joint period 12 and 13 \u2013 Airport and Trafford Park 99.5%<\/p>\n

Lowest performing line over the joint period 12 and 13 \u2013 Eccles 93.4%<\/p>\n

0.40% of journeys were cancelled (previous period 0.59%) and 1% of journeys were considered incomplete (previous period 0.42%). The much lower figure for short journeys can probably be explained by the St Peter\u2019s Square disruption on a couple of occasions due to a police incident and a protest.<\/p>\n
