TransPennine Express

TransPennine Express appears on 94 archived days from 6 Aug 2026 to 7 Nov 2026, running 434 services a day. 79% of its recorded arrivals were within five minutes, which is below the network as a whole.

26,560 arrivals were recorded across the window, 20,875 of them within five minutes and 420 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: 777 services on Wednesday, 30 September 2026 against 281 on Sunday, 18 October 2026, a swing of 2.8 times.

The average delay at destination was 3.2 minutes. The worst single arrival recorded was 3h 30m behind schedule, Redcar Central to Manchester Airport on Wednesday, 7 October 2026.

The day-to-day spread is wide — 56 points between its best day, Sunday, 6 September 2026 at 94%, and its worst, Sunday, 25 October 2026 at 39%.

817 services were cancelled, 2.0% of everything booked — close to the 2.3% the network cancelled over the same dates. The worst single day was Friday, 28 August 2026, at 11% of that day's timetable.

Counting those cancellations as failures, the way the industry's own measure does, takes the on-time share from 79% of recorded arrivals to 76% of everything booked whose outcome is known — 2.3 points.

Ranked on on-time share of recorded arrivals against the 34 operators with enough of them to compare, TransPennine Express comes 23rd.

TransPennine Express in numbers

Every percentage among the bands is of the 26,560 services whose arrival reached the archive, not of all 40,757, and the bands are exclusive. 13,380 ran without an arrival being recorded, and nothing is claimed about those. The row counting cancellations is those same 20,875 on-time arrivals over a denominator that also holds the 817 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.
