In 2022, 40% of scheduled rail and Underground services in London were either cancelled or delayed, analysis has revealed.Proportionately, stations in north-west London saw the most trains cancelled in the capital.
At Birmingham New Street, the busiest station outside London, less than half arrived on time with 52% of services disrupted. The picture at Leeds station was better, with 61% arriving on time. Queens Park, Kensal Green, Stonebridge Park and Harlesden stations had the highest number of cancellations in the whole of London, with 12%.
