The Transport Secretary has admitted that South Western Railway (SWR) services have not been good enough since the franchise was renationalised.

Heidi Alexander, MP for Swindon South, told the House of Commons that the government would "leave no stone unturned" in making sure that the public had "a better travelling experience in the future".

Her comments came in response to a complaint by Woking's Liberal Democrat MP, Will Forster.

South Western Railway have performance graphs on their website. Currently showing data up to period 1 (2026/27) - April into May 2026
