How late is it, usually?
median per recorded stop arrivalEvery figure here is a median, not an average: why we publish a median, not an average. What counts as on time, and why some figures here are blank, is set out in what on time means here, and every threshold behind it.

- Faint bar behind — the bad day (90th percentile): worse than nine tenths of recorded arrivals here
- No faint bar — fewer than 7 recorded arrivals at that stop, too thin for a 90th percentile. The solid bar can still show: it needs only 3.
- — (no solid bar either) — fewer than 3 recorded runs at that stop
- A negative figure means the train typically ran early at that stop, not late
- Band — the shortest and the longest stand recorded at that stop. The train has left as early as the first figure.
- Keyline — the scheduled stop, arrival to departure on the timetable below.
- Why a train stands is not recorded — a crossing, a loco change and a red signal all look the same on the clock.
- The five stops that stand longest past the timetable, not every stop — most routes have more. A stop qualifies with 7 or more runs timed in and out, and is skipped where the timetable books no stop, books one over an hour, or where any recorded stand ran past three hours.
