Tyne and Wear Metro
Tyne and Wear Metro is one of the smaller operators in this archive — 15,518 recorded services from 6 Aug 2026 to 7 Nov 2026, around 165 a day — and it ran 96% of them to within five minutes, ahead of the national figure.
11,512 arrivals were recorded across the window, 11,071 of them within five minutes and 16 more than half an hour late. At this volume a single badly delayed working is worth a visible fraction of a percentage point.
Volume moved between 123 services on Sunday, 16 August 2026 and 178 on Thursday, 5 November 2026.
The average delay at destination was 0.9 minutes. The worst single arrival recorded was 2h 35m behind schedule, Newcastle Airport to South Hylton (T & W Metro) on Saturday, 7 November 2026.
Between Sunday, 13 September 2026 at 87% and Tuesday, 27 October 2026 at 100% there are 13 points.
Ranked on on-time share of recorded arrivals against the 34 operators with enough of them to compare, Tyne and Wear Metro comes fourth.

Every percentage among the bands is of the 11,512 services whose arrival reached the archive, not of all 15,518, and the bands are exclusive. 4,006 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.
