How we are performing

c2c are committed to providing you with important and up-to-date information regarding performance. We publish information on our On Time performance, which measures all station calls that start, arrive at any intermediate station or destination within 59 seconds. And we publish the “Time to 3” metric (T-3), which calculates the number of trains that arrive within three minutes of schedule.

Within 1 minute = On Time performance measures the percentage of station calls which departed origin, arrived at intermediate calls and arrived at destination early or within 59 seconds of schedule.

Time to 3 (T-3) = The percentage of recorded station stops arrived at early or less than three minutes after the scheduled time.

Cancellations

Full = if the train ran less than half of its planned journey.

Part = If the train ran at least half but not all of its planned journeys or it skipped stops on route.

How we manage disruption

The rail industry has produced a Code of Practice which sets out guidance and good practice in providing information to customers during times of disruption.

c2c make use of this as a framework for delivering timely, correct and consistent information to you during major disruption and delays to help you make well-informed travel decisions. You can read about our approach in our Local plan for passenger information during disruption 2019
