The Department does not routinely collect this information centrally. The latest published data on train cancellations can be found on the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) website.

The Department does not hold all information relating to "p-coded" services, which is a broad term used in the rail industry for planned alterations to the timetable including omissions from the plan of the day as this is the responsibility of the ORR.

Although no data is available by station, the ORR recently published figures for all Train Operating Companies' late notice pre-cancellations "P-code" for resource availability (train crew and rolling stock) in rail period 11.
