"According to The Office of Rail and Road, trains were only considered "on time" 68.1% in the first quarter of 2025, a figure that disrupts everything from daily commutes to family visits and holidays. In the latest data running from 1 January to 31 March 2025, of the 1.9 million trains planned, 44,100 were full cancellations and 39,200 were part cancellations."
"From March 2024 to March 2025, 4.1% of trains were cancelled, higher than any point in the past 5 years and rising slowly since COVID. By analysing further data from The Office of Rail and Road, NetVoucherCodes has been able to reveal that train delays and cancellations are draining the UK economy of an estimated £820 million in lost business productivity every year."
Train punctuality in Q1 2025 was 68.1%. Between 1 January and 31 March 2025, 1.9 million services were planned, with 44,100 fully cancelled and 39,200 partially cancelled. During that period 14.1% of services ran 3–15 minutes late and 1.5% were delayed by more than 15 minutes. Extrapolated across a year this equates to about 176,400 full cancellations, 156,800 part cancellations, 1.07 million services 3–15 minutes late and 114,000 services delayed over 15 minutes. Approximately 42.7% of journeys are for commuting or business, equating to roughly 739 million business trips last year. With an estimated 60 business travellers per service and a median hourly pay of £18.64, lost productivity totals about £820 million annually.
