Delivered

Dear Department for Transport,

GWR have some shockingly lenient definitions of what constitutes "on time". Please provide the details of meetings and agreements where their punctuality KPIs were agreed.

In a recent FOI (F0016180) you stated that "Great Western Railway (GWR) do not currently operate a Delay Repay scheme. The DfT have asked a number of train operating companies for proposals, including GWR, to implement Delay Repay 15. This will be introduced if the proposals are affordable and represent value for
money for taxpayers."

I would also like you to provide the minutes of the meeting where it was agreed that they would not have to compensate passengers in this way, and why.

Yours faithfully,

Magnus Ponsonby-Talbot
