According to Network Rail's website comprehensive records only started in 1997.
"National train punctuality measured for all trains across every day did not start to be recorded until 1997. Before then Railtrack & BR before it measured most services - those during peak periods (and variations) and so the percentages from 1992 to 1997 are extrapolations of the best figures available. No credible numbers exists pre1992 but anecdotal evidence from numerous senior ex-BR managers indicate that performance under BR was never better than it was in the 90s"
Maybe this type of record keeping only started with the increased use of computers in the 1990's??
