Question:
To ask the Minister for Regional Development to detail the number of recorded breakdowns and delays on the Larne Railway Line since the introduction of the 2013 timetable.

Answer:

Translink has confirmed that for the Larne line over 9,600 services there were 6 breakdowns resulting in the cancellation of services and 157 delays since the introduction of the 2013 timetable.

Punctuality on the Larne Line since the introduction of the new timetable has been excellent, with 98.3% of all trains arriving at their destination within 5 minutes of their scheduled arrival time. This is above the Passenger Charter standards agreed with the Department and Consumer Council.
