Monday, 10 August 2026

25,182 passenger trains were recorded on Monday, 10 August 2026 and 407 of them were cancelled. Arrival times were not captured for most of this day, so it is a record of what ran rather than of how punctual it was.

25,182 passenger services were recorded as having been scheduled and settled on this date. Arrival times reached the archive for only 4,149 of them, so nothing is claimed here about how late the rest were — the figures below cover what ran and what did not.

An ordinary weekday timetable, with the two commuter peaks that give the network most of its work and least of its slack.

407 services were cancelled, 1.6% of everything booked. The reason given most often was “This service has been cancelled because of a shortage of train crew”, on 66 of them. Cancellation reasons are close to complete even on days like this, and they are the operators' own wording, reproduced unedited.

Avanti West Coast lost the largest share of its own timetable, 11.0% of 364 booked runs.

The day in numbers

Every percentage among the bands is of the 4,149 trains whose arrival reached the archive — not of all 25,182, and the bands are exclusive. 20,626 trains ran without an arrival time being recorded, and nothing is claimed about how punctual those were. Delay is judged at the destination, a stricter test than the industry's own measure and not comparable with it.

By operator

37 operators ran passenger services on this date, from ScotRail on 2,937 runs down to LS on 8. Ordered by volume, not performance — any heading re-sorts it.

Why trains were late

8 different reasons were given for delay on this date, each reproduced in the operator's own words.

Why trains were cancelled

A reason reached the archive for 267 of the 407 cancellations (65.6%), across 8 distinct reasons. A run cancelled part-way along often carries no reason at all.

The longest delays

The worst of them arrived 1h 36m behind schedule — Elephant & Castle Underground to Stonebridge Park, booked away at 21:29, run by London Underground. The ten longest range from 1h 36m down to 58 min, and they belong to 6 operators, CrossCountry accounting for 3. What a delay on that scale usually means.
