c2c
A small operator by volume: c2c recorded 38,086 services from 6 Aug 2026 to 7 Nov 2026, and 85% of the arrivals we captured were within five minutes — much the same as the network at large.
23,825 arrivals were recorded across the window, 20,277 of them within five minutes and 52 more than half an hour late. At this volume a single badly delayed working is worth a visible fraction of a percentage point.
Its week is strongly peaked: 813 services on Monday, 5 October 2026 against 177 on Sunday, 25 October 2026, a swing of 4.6 times.
The average delay at destination was 2.4 minutes. The worst single arrival recorded was 1h 47m behind schedule, Shoeburyness to London Fenchurch Street on Thursday, 8 October 2026.
The day-to-day spread is wide — 49 points between its best day, Sunday, 11 October 2026 at 99%, and its worst, Wednesday, 9 September 2026 at 50%.
1,936 services were cancelled, 5.1% of everything booked — above the 2.3% the network cancelled over the same dates. The worst single day was Sunday, 25 October 2026, at 95% of that day's timetable.
Counting those cancellations as failures, the way the industry's own measure does, takes the on-time share from 85% of recorded arrivals to 79% of everything booked whose outcome is known — 6.4 points.

Every percentage among the bands is of the 23,825 services whose arrival reached the archive, not of all 38,086, and the bands are exclusive. 12,325 ran without an arrival being recorded, and nothing is claimed about those. The row counting cancellations is those same 20,277 on-time arrivals over a denominator that also holds the 1,936 trains that did not run at all. Delay is judged at the destination, a stricter test than the industry's own measure and not comparable with it. The on-time share and the average delay answer different questions.
