“Under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act I would like to request the following: 

Does Metlink collect data on the number of train services that run with reduced capacity due to staff shortages? 

If so, may I please have this data on a monthly basis (as both a total number of services impacted by reduced capacity and as a percentage of overall services operating) going back for the past 24 months 

If not, can you please provide a reason why this is not captured in the performance reporting for the commuter rail network?”
