Tyne and Wear Metro

Tyne and Wear Metro is one of the smaller operators in this archive — 8,044 recorded services from 6 Aug 2026 to 23 Sept 2026, around 164 a day — and it ran 97% of them to within five minutes, ahead of the national figure.

4,842 arrivals were recorded across the window, 4,702 of them within five minutes and 5 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 Wednesday, 16 September 2026.

The average delay at destination was 0.4 minutes. The worst single arrival recorded was 2h 28m behind schedule, South Gosforth (T & W Metro) to South Hylton (T & W Metro) on Sunday, 13 September 2026.

Between Sunday, 13 September 2026 at 87% and Sunday, 20 September 2026 at 100% there are 13 points.

Ranked on on-time share of recorded arrivals against the 30 operators with enough of them to compare, Tyne and Wear Metro comes fourth.

Tyne and Wear Metro in numbers

Every percentage among the bands is of the 4,842 services whose arrival reached the archive, not of all 8,044, and the bands are exclusive. 3,202 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.
