The performance figures for Manchester Metrolink are now being released quarterly as opposed to every four weeks and the latest quarter \u2013 covering the period between 27th<\/sup> June and 18th<\/sup> September \u2013 has shown that although punctuality has fallen since the last quarter reliability has increased.<\/p>\n

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

Percentage of trams departing less than 2 minutes late<\/em><\/p>\n

This quarter features three four week periods:<\/p>\n

Period 4 \u2013 81.9%<\/p>\n

Period 5 \u2013 89.7%<\/p>\n

Period 6 \u2013 87.1%<\/p>\n

There was a significant decrease in period 4 (period 3 ended at 91.4%) but this has seen an increase since although it remains lower than at the end of the last quarter.<\/p>\n

The highest performing route was the Altrincham line at 92.5% with the lowest route being the Oldham and Rochdale line at 82.4%<\/p>\n

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

Percentage of planned miles operated<\/em><\/p>\n

The three quarters for this quarter are:<\/p>\n

Period 4 \u2013 92.7%<\/p>\n

Period 5 \u2013 96.4%<\/p>\n

Period 6 \u2013 97.4%<\/p>\n

While there was a fall in reliability in period 4 (period 3 had been at 96.4%) this has risen again since. Metrolink was particularly affected by the \u201cpingdemic\u201d which may account for some of the issues with reliability.<\/p>\n

The highest performing route were the Bury and Oldham and Rochdale lines (98.3%) with the other end of the scale being the Trafford Park line at 93.9%.<\/p>\n

There were 2.45% of all journeys cancelled and 0.29% of all planned journeys were incomplete.<\/p>\n
