Has there been a proper comparison of late and cancelled trains of the current TOCs and BR applying the criteria used then and now to each and if so, what were the results ?
As a guess, I'd say it would be impossible to compare then and now. Completely different network, rolling stock (for the majority) and other parameters which would make the comparison very difficult and unreliable.

5. New communication systems - mobile phones, radios etc. In the old days getting a message from a train meant stopping at a signalbox/station or chucking out a note as you passed!
