Avanti West Coast

Avanti West Coast appears on 94 archived days from 6 Aug 2026 to 7 Nov 2026, running 382 services a day. 48% of its recorded arrivals were within five minutes, which is below the network as a whole.

23,209 arrivals were recorded across the window, 11,115 of them within five minutes and 1,465 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: 425 services on Thursday, 1 October 2026 against 195 on Sunday, 18 October 2026, a swing of 2.2 times.

The average delay at destination was 9.5 minutes. The worst single arrival recorded was 3h 15m behind schedule, Birmingham New Street to London Euston on Saturday, 31 October 2026.

The day-to-day spread is wide — 62 points between its best day, Thursday, 24 September 2026 at 77%, and its worst, Friday, 21 August 2026 at 15%.

688 services were cancelled, 1.9% of everything booked — close to the 2.3% the network cancelled over the same dates. The worst single day was Saturday, 8 August 2026, at 19% of that day's timetable.

Counting those cancellations as failures, the way the industry's own measure does, takes the on-time share from 48% of recorded arrivals to 47% of everything booked whose outcome is known — 1.4 points.

Ranked on on-time share of recorded arrivals against the 34 operators with enough of them to compare, Avanti West Coast comes 34th.

Avanti West Coast in numbers

Every percentage among the bands is of the 23,209 services whose arrival reached the archive, not of all 35,872, and the bands are exclusive. 11,975 ran without an arrival being recorded, and nothing is claimed about those. The row counting cancellations is those same 11,115 on-time arrivals over a denominator that also holds the 688 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.
