Trains 'more punctual than ever'

A LOCAL train operator says that its trains have never been more
punctual.
Silverlink runs the county route which stops at Bushey, Abbots Langley
and Watford.
The firm said for the four weeks ending Saturday, April 30, the number
of services running on time was up three per cent on the previous
period to 92.9 per cent.
This is the highest figure the company has on record. The punctuality
of trains running at peak times has improved by one per cent, rising to
95.8 per cent.
Silverlink's route director, Julian Drury, said " I am delighted
that Silverlink County has made such a phenomenal improvement.
"This is tremendously encouraging for both customers who use the
trains, and the Silverlink team.
"This is by no means the end of the story, and in the months ahead
we will be doing everything we can to get even more trains running on
time."
The figures for Silverlink Metro which serves Bushey stayed more or
less the same for the period.
