London North Eastern Railway
London North Eastern Railway appears on 94 archived days from 6 Aug 2026 to 7 Nov 2026, running 310 services a day. 68% of its recorded arrivals were within five minutes, which is below the network as a whole.
15,621 arrivals were recorded across the window, 10,560 of them within five minutes and 1,014 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: 465 services on Saturday, 31 October 2026 against 207 on Sunday, 9 August 2026, a swing of 2.2 times.
The average delay at destination was 6.2 minutes. The worst single arrival recorded was 5h 24m behind schedule, London Kings Cross to Leeds on Thursday, 20 August 2026.
The day-to-day spread is wide — 64 points between its best day, Sunday, 4 October 2026 at 94%, and its worst, Sunday, 25 October 2026 at 30%.
248 services were cancelled, 0.9% of everything booked — below the 2.3% the network cancelled over the same dates. The worst single day was Sunday, 25 October 2026, at 10% of that day's timetable.
Counting those cancellations as failures, the way the industry's own measure does, takes the on-time share from 68% of recorded arrivals to 67% of everything booked whose outcome is known — 1.1 points.
Ranked on on-time share of recorded arrivals against the 34 operators with enough of them to compare, London North Eastern Railway comes 29th.

Every percentage among the bands is of the 15,621 services whose arrival reached the archive, not of all 29,099, and the bands are exclusive. 13,230 ran without an arrival being recorded, and nothing is claimed about those. The row counting cancellations is those same 10,560 on-time arrivals over a denominator that also holds the 248 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.
