The National | News
The publicly owned train operator is outperforming the rest of the UK’s rail services, with only 2% of stops cancelled between August 18, 2024, to August 16, 2025.
In comparison, England had 3.5% of train stops cancelled, Wales had 3.9% and the UK had 3.3% overall, according to data by the Office for Rail and Road.
The North East was the worst region in England, with 4.5% of train stops cancelled, followed by the South West at 4.2% and then the North West at 4%.
The BBC’s analysis differs from the cancellation analysis by the Rail Delivery Group, which represents Network Rail and train operators.
“Today we see that cancellations on ScotRail trains are the lowest in UK, with less than half the cancellations proportionally of North East England.
