<p /><p>The criteria for establishing delay causes are to be found in the Delay Attribution
Guide, issued by the Delay Attribution Board – a joint rail industry body remitted
to provide guidance to the industry on delay attribution issues.</p><p>The current
guide was issued in April 2014. Copies of the all the guides since 2007 can be seen
at:</p><p /> <p> </p><p><a href="http://www.delayattributionboard.co.uk/delayattributionguides.htm"
target="_blank">http://www.delayattributionboard.co.uk/delayattributionguides.htm</a></p><p>The
Department does not make estimates with regard to the attribution of delay in respect
of the annual number of timetabled passenger train services that arrived, either within
5 minutes or not, of their scheduled arrival time.</p><p /> <p> </p><p /> <p>The industry
uses the Delay Attribution Guide to attribute delays by total minutes of delay, not
by number of trains. The Office of Rail Regulation is beginning to publish such information;
see</p><p /> <p> </p><p><a href="http://orr.gov.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0004/13792/network-rail-monitor-2013-14-q4.pdf"

(page11) for the 2013-14 figures as to how industry delay was apportioned for each
operator and nationally.</p><p> </p>
