Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many instances of stop skipping occurred on ScotRail services in 2017.
Answer
In 2017, 0.78 percent of ScotRail services were subject to skip-stopping.
Performance in the railway system in Great Britain is measured using the Public-Performance Measure (PPM), which counts all trains planned to run, which run and arrive within five minutes of their scheduled arrival time. Trains which are cancelled, either in full or in part, or which do not stop at stations at which they are meant to stop, are counted against this measure.
