The latest data released by Transport for Greater Manchester has shown that both punctuality and reliability on Manchester Metrolink has increased in the latest quarter. Covering the period 12th<\/sup> December 2021 to 5th<\/sup> March 2022 punctuality has now reached 88.9% whilst reliability is at 97.6%.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The quarterly stats include three four weekly periods \u2013 periods 10, 11 and 12 in the Metrolink reporting year. The statistics give details of each period both overall and on a line-by-line basis. In this release it shows that period 11 was the highest performing period for nearly a year and although things have gone down slightly again since they are still higher than they have been for much of the last year and hopefully that will be a trend that continues.<\/p>\n
