<p>The Department recognises that cancellations can be very inconvenient for passengers
and prevents them from travelling with confidence. That is why the Department holds

Office of Rail and Road (ORR) publishes official cancellation statistics on its online
Data Portal, which show that the number of services planned to run in Great Britain
between 8 January 2023 and 6 January 2024 was 7,012,172. Of these, 336,289 were either
fully or partially cancelled. Between 7 January 2024 and 2 March 2024, the number
of services planned to run were 1,106,087, of which 47,904 services have been either
fully or partially cancelled.</p>
