Explanation

The table above shows multiple arrival statistics. (Please see below for the colour key).

For example, the statistic '% Arrivals RT-5m late' is the percentage of the time that the service arrived no more than 5 minutes late in the time period covered by this search (Mon - Fri between Wed 4 Jun 2025 and Wed 2 Jul 2025).

By this measure the best performing service is the 03:53 departure from Sheffield scheduled to arrive in Manchester Piccadilly at 04:43, which arrived no more than 5 minutes late 100% of the time. In this time period, this service actually arrived on average 1½mins late at 04:44.

When looking at the average arrival time remember it is just the average. Sometimes the service arrived earlier than this, sometimes later. For example, to see some actual arrival times for each service click here.
