Greater Anglia
91% of Greater Anglia's 47,181 recorded arrivals from 6 Aug 2026 to 23 Sept 2026 were within five minutes, putting it 3.5 points clear of the network average for the same dates.
Over 49 archived days that is 1,288 services a day, 5.2% of the national timetable. Of 47,181 recorded arrivals, 42,886 were within five minutes and 210 were more than half an hour down.
Its week is strongly peaked: 1,572 services on Friday, 21 August 2026 against 928 on Sunday, 9 August 2026, a swing of 1.7 times.
The average delay at destination was 0.8 minutes. The worst single arrival recorded was 3h 18m behind schedule, Great Yarmouth to Norwich on Tuesday, 1 September 2026.
Between Saturday, 15 August 2026 at 82% and Monday, 31 August 2026 at 96% there are 14 points.
1,903 services were cancelled, 3.0% of everything booked — close to the 2.4% the network cancelled over the same dates. The worst single day was Saturday, 15 August 2026, at 17% of that day's timetable.
Counting those cancellations as failures, the way the industry's own measure does, takes the on-time share from 91% of recorded arrivals to 87% of everything booked whose outcome is known — 3.5 points.
Ranked on on-time share of recorded arrivals against the 30 operators with enough of them to compare, Greater Anglia comes tenth.

Every percentage among the bands is of the 47,181 services whose arrival reached the archive, not of all 63,124, and the bands are exclusive. 14,040 ran without an arrival being recorded, and nothing is claimed about those. The row counting cancellations is those same 42,886 on-time arrivals over a denominator that also holds the 1,903 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.
