West Midlands Railway

Between 6 Aug 2026 to 23 Sept 2026, West Midlands Railway ran 60,067 recorded services and finished the period on 86% of its measured arrivals within five minutes, within a couple of points of the network as a whole.

Over 49 archived days that is 1,226 services a day, 5.0% of the national timetable. Of 40,846 recorded arrivals, 35,158 were within five minutes and 201 were more than half an hour down.

Its week is strongly peaked: 1,398 services on Friday, 21 August 2026 against 650 on Sunday, 9 August 2026, a swing of 2.2 times.

The average delay at destination was 1.9 minutes. The worst single arrival recorded was 1h 43m behind schedule, Tring to London Euston on Thursday, 10 September 2026.

Between Saturday, 19 September 2026 at 79% and Sunday, 30 August 2026 at 92% there are 13 points.

2,288 services were cancelled, 3.8% of everything booked — above the 2.4% the network cancelled over the same dates. The worst single day was Friday, 21 August 2026, at 13% of that day's timetable.

Counting those cancellations as failures, the way the industry's own measure does, takes the on-time share from 86% of recorded arrivals to 82% of everything booked whose outcome is known — 4.6 points.

West Midlands Railway in numbers

Every percentage among the bands is of the 40,846 services whose arrival reached the archive, not of all 60,067, and the bands are exclusive. 16,933 ran without an arrival being recorded, and nothing is claimed about those. The row counting cancellations is those same 35,158 on-time arrivals over a denominator that also holds the 2,288 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.
