North Yorkshire Moors Railway appears on 87 archived days from 6 Aug 2026 to 31 Oct 2026, running 7 services a day. 75% of its recorded arrivals were within five minutes, which is below the network as a whole.
401 arrivals were recorded across the window, 299 of them within five minutes and 26 more than half an hour late. At this volume a single badly delayed working is worth a visible fraction of a percentage point.

Averaged across every recorded arrival its trains finished 12.2 minutes ahead of schedule rather than behind it, the early arrivals outweighing the late ones. The worst single arrival recorded was 1h 43m behind schedule, Whitby to Pickering on Wednesday, 21 October 2026.

Every percentage among the bands is of the 401 services whose arrival reached the
archive, not of all 624, and the bands are exclusive. 223 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.
