I find it surprising that no data is included for Ryanair ...
See page 42 of the .pdf - Ryanair are unconventional in some aspects, and that may extend to data availability Carrier SelecIon Criteria
Carrier flight performance is assessed only for airlines where FlightStats can accurately determine the flight status gate data on a significant percentage of the scheduled passenger flights (no charter or unscheduled passenger flights, or cargo flights are considered). Typically 80% coverage is needed to for a carrier to be included in the analysis with coverage oten in the upper 90% range.
Airport Selection Criteria
Performance is assessed only for airports where FlightStats can accurately determine the outcome of a significant porIon of an airport's departures of scheduled passenger flights (no charter or unscheduled passenger flights, or cargo flights are considered). Typically 80-^‐90% coverage is needed for an airport to be included in the analysis with coverage oten in the upper 90% range. However, in Europe and Asia the coverage threshold was set lower to include a couple of key airports in the analysis.

Real time trains shows some odd goings on at Westbury ... the 16:58 arrived from Cardiff on time, but didn't leave until 17:19 ... perhaps that's the train that had the "earlier fault" and the TransWilts unit was sent to Portsmouth. I do hope it wasn't a 153

17:20 Westbury to Swindon due 18:04 This train will be cancelled. This is due to an earlier train fault. 18:19 Swindon to Westbury due 19:05 This train will be cancelled. This is due to an earlier train fault. So that leaves the 19:35 Westbury to Swindon as today's only service in either direction. Connection into Elstree and Borehamwood (my most common Sunday evening journey at present) at 23:24 rather then 20:41. Lovely
