Southeastern
Between 6 Aug 2026 to 7 Nov 2026, Southeastern ran 155,606 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 94 archived days that is 1,655 services a day, 6.7% of the national timetable. Of 130,983 recorded arrivals, 112,764 were within five minutes and 879 were more than half an hour down.
Its week is strongly peaked: 2,056 services on Wednesday, 28 October 2026 against 897 on Sunday, 30 August 2026, a swing of 2.3 times.
The average delay at destination was 2.2 minutes. The worst single arrival recorded was 3h 49m behind schedule, Gravesend to London Victoria on Tuesday, 18 August 2026.
The day-to-day spread is wide — 27 points between its best day, Saturday, 3 October 2026 at 94%, and its worst, Tuesday, 3 November 2026 at 67%.
2,502 services were cancelled, 1.6% of everything booked — below the 2.3% the network cancelled over the same dates. The worst single day was Tuesday, 18 August 2026, at 9% 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 84% of everything booked whose outcome is known — 1.6 points.

Every percentage among the bands is of the 130,983 services whose arrival reached the archive, not of all 155,606, and the bands are exclusive. 22,121 ran without an arrival being recorded, and nothing is claimed about those. The row counting cancellations is those same 112,764 on-time arrivals over a denominator that also holds the 2,502 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.
