PA Wire

Train operator TransPennine Express (TPE) cancelled the equivalent of nearly a quarter of services in a month, new figures show.

The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) said the FirstGroup-owned company’s cancellation score for the four weeks to March 4 worsened from 7.2% to 23.8% when adjusted to include pre-cancellations due to a shortage of train crew.
