Eurostar
Eurostar appears on 49 archived days from 6 Aug 2026 to 23 Sept 2026, running 51 services a day. 72% of its recorded arrivals were within five minutes, which is below the network as a whole.
1,534 arrivals were recorded across the window, 1,110 of them within five minutes and 103 more than half an hour late. At this volume a single badly delayed working is worth a visible fraction of a percentage point.
Volume moved between 44 services on Saturday, 15 August 2026 and 56 on Friday, 18 September 2026.
The average delay at destination was 6.8 minutes. The worst single arrival recorded was 2h 48m behind schedule, Paris Nord to London St Pancras (Intl) on Friday, 4 September 2026.
The day-to-day spread is wide — 58 points between its best day, Monday, 17 August 2026 at 92%, and its worst, Thursday, 17 September 2026 at 33%.
Ranked on on-time share of recorded arrivals against the 30 operators with enough of them to compare, Eurostar comes 24th.

Every percentage among the bands is of the 1,534 services whose arrival reached the archive, not of all 2,498, and the bands are exclusive. 964 ran without an arrival being recorded, and nothing is claimed about those. Nothing was cancelled across the window, so counting cancellations leaves the figure unchanged. 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.
