Average of 57 trains delayed every single day – ORR
AN AVERAGE of 57 trains a day are significantly late, nationwide industry figures published today show.
Office of Rail and Road (ORR) data found that 5,250 services were between 30 and 119 minutes late in the period from July to September last year.
However, the true number of delays could be even higher as the figures do not include trains that were two hours or more behind schedule.
