Notes:

•  the composition of the performance index might in future be revised to take into account the performance indicators adopted as part of the next High Level Output Specification process.

•  all data is in financial years, running April to March, except for the UIC data which is in calendar years (as explained above, data for the 2004-05 calendar year will be recorded as 2005 data).

•  the assessment presented in this document is not meant to supersede or interfere with the Office of Rail Regulation's (ORR) role as the safety and economic regulator for Britain's railways nor is it meant to provide any additional targets for the sector.
