A new study has found that SCOTRAIL is one of the most reliable train operators in the UK, with only 3.61% of journeys cancelled or delayed by 15 minutes or more between January 2021 and September 2023.
The company was ranked fourth in analysis of official figures for the country’s 24 major train companies that focused on the percentage of journeys cancelled or delayed by 15 minutes or more.
Avanti West Coast – which runs services to and from Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Waverley - came out as the least reliable in the UK with more than 15% of all trains being cancelled or delayed by 15 minutes or more, which works out at just over one in six trains not arriving when expected. Also among the worst 10 performing operators were Caledonian Sleeper, with 9.42% of all trains cancelled or seriously late, and TransPennine Express – which again serves Edinburgh – with a score of 9.29%.
