Timetable
Performance regime penalties and bonuses by financial year



The following chart shows c2c performance bonuses from the Government (along with figures for other train operators). The figures and comments are taken from Hansard - which records proceedings from the House of Commons.

Derek Twigg: The performance regime the Department has in place with franchised train operators takes account of all train lateness on a train-by-train basis. When financial calculations are made every four-weeks, a single payment encompasses all the bonus and penalty elements occurring during that time period. These in turn aggregate into annual sums shown on the following table, which represent the net performance bonus to (or penalty payment from), each train operating company in each year requested. The amount shown is therefore the overall difference between performance penalties and bonuses.

In addition to my answer of 29 November 2005, Official Report, columns 329-30W, I regret that an error occurred when the penalty cost figures quoted in my earlier answer were being compiled. The following table gives corrected figures.
