D = 0.125 � the number of Skip Stop Services

E = the number of Cancels

 None

B = Number of Scheduled services

 None
% skip services (Train) Unplanned Skip Services Percentage DOUBLE

A/B

A = number of skips services

B = Number of Scheduled services

# scheduled (Train) Timetabled Service INTEGER For a day, a service scheduled in the Daily Timetable to run on that day. This figure is the denominator for the reliability measures. None
# scheduled (Train|dest) Timetabled Services at destination INTEGER For a day, a service scheduled in the Daily Timetable to run on that day that actually arrives at its destination. This figure is the denominator for the punctuality measures. None
# ontime (Train|dest) Number of Scheduled Services at Destination INTEGER Any Master Timetable Service that arrives at the scheduled destination no later than 4 minutes and 59 seconds after the time it was scheduled to do so in the Daily Timetable. None
# cancelled (Train) Unplanned Cancellation INTEGER On any day, a Master Timetable Service which is a Timetabled Service for that day but which does not depart from the scheduled origin, and does not arrive at the scheduled destination as set out in the Daily Timetable. None
# short (Train) Unplanned Short INTEGER

On any day, a Master Timetable Service which is a Timetabled Service for that day but which:

(a) does not depart from the scheduled origin; (b) does not arrive at the scheduled destination; or (c) is substituted by a bus or an alternative mode of transport between the scheduled origin and the scheduled destination.

A service which is a Cancel or Bypass will not also count as a Short, however, a service which is a Short will also count as a Skip Stop Service if an Skip Stop Event occurs on any section of the service.

 None
# bypass (Train|Loops) Unplanned Bypass INTEGER

On any day, a Master Timetable Service which is a Timetabled Service for that day but which does not travel through the City Loop Stations and/or the Westona Loop Stations as scheduled in the Daily Timetable.
