Performance

Find out how we measure performance at First Great Western, how we are working to improve our service, and how we report on our performance to customers.

We deliver performance and financial targets for the benefit of our customers, stakeholders and employees. We are measured by our Public Performance Measure (PPM MAA)  score which has improved significantly since the start of the franchise. This is a result of hard work by both First Great Western and infrastructure owners Network Rail.

First Great Western faces major challenges from ageing infrastructure and the knock on temporary speed restrictions they cause. Working with Network Rail, we are overcoming these recurring infrastructure problems on our network and are meeting or exceeding each of the performance challenges under our own control.

We have installed new, environmentally-friendly engines across our entire High Speed Train fleet, improving the reliability of the trains and delivering significant punctuality benefits.
