CrossCountry

CrossCountry appears on 94 archived days from 6 Aug 2026 to 7 Nov 2026, running 353 services a day. 61% of its recorded arrivals were within five minutes, which is below the network as a whole.

20,616 arrivals were recorded across the window, 12,662 of them within five minutes and 1,041 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: 520 services on Saturday, 3 October 2026 against 212 on Sunday, 16 August 2026, a swing of 2.5 times.

The average delay at destination was 7.5 minutes. The worst single arrival recorded was 5h 02m behind schedule, Edinburgh to Plymouth on Wednesday, 7 October 2026.

The day-to-day spread is wide — 48 points between its best day, Sunday, 11 October 2026 at 87%, and its worst, Friday, 23 October 2026 at 39%.

1,385 services were cancelled, 4.2% of everything booked — above the 2.3% the network cancelled over the same dates. The worst single day was Sunday, 6 September 2026, at 23% of that day's timetable.

Counting those cancellations as failures, the way the industry's own measure does, takes the on-time share from 61% of recorded arrivals to 58% of everything booked whose outcome is known — 3.9 points.

Ranked on on-time share of recorded arrivals against the 34 operators with enough of them to compare, CrossCountry comes 31st.

CrossCountry in numbers

Every percentage among the bands is of the 20,616 services whose arrival reached the archive, not of all 33,216, and the bands are exclusive. 11,215 ran without an arrival being recorded, and nothing is claimed about those. The row counting cancellations is those same 12,662 on-time arrivals over a denominator that also holds the 1,385 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.

Day by day

94 archived days, 6 Aug 2026 to 7 Nov 2026, widest bar the busiest, filled to the share that arrived within five minutes. The same days across every operator.
