TRAIN reliability has reached a record low, figures revealed today, exposing what a trade union leader has called the failures of privatisation.
More than one in 25 services were cancelled in the last year, according to data from the Office of Rail and Road (ORR).
Services were fully axed more than 217,000 times in the year to February 1, while a further 165,000 were part-cancelled, meaning they did not serve all their scheduled stops.
