Elizabeth line

93% of Elizabeth line's 52,773 recorded arrivals from 6 Aug 2026 to 7 Nov 2026 were within five minutes, putting it 6.0 points clear of the network average for the same dates.

Over 94 archived days that is 665 services a day, 2.7% of the national timetable. Of 52,773 recorded arrivals, 49,111 were within five minutes and 162 were more than half an hour down.

Volume moved between 497 services on Sunday, 6 September 2026 and 757 on Saturday, 5 September 2026.

The average delay at destination was 0.1 minutes. The worst single arrival recorded was 8h 31m behind schedule, Stratford (London) to Heathrow Airport T4 on Tuesday, 27 October 2026.

The day-to-day spread is wide — 32 points between its best day, Saturday, 17 October 2026 at 100%, and its worst, Tuesday, 27 October 2026 at 68%.

2,310 services were cancelled, 3.7% of everything booked — above the 2.3% the network cancelled over the same dates. The worst single day was Saturday, 7 November 2026, at 25% of that day's timetable.

Counting those cancellations as failures, the way the industry's own measure does, takes the on-time share from 93% of recorded arrivals to 89% 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, Elizabeth line comes sixth.

Elizabeth line in numbers

Every percentage among the bands is of the 52,773 services whose arrival reached the archive, not of all 62,556, and the bands are exclusive. 7,473 ran without an arrival being recorded, and nothing is claimed about those. The row counting cancellations is those same 49,111 on-time arrivals over a denominator that also holds the 2,310 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.
