Which train stations in Wakefield have the most cancellations: Latest ORR data reveals punctuality and reliability figures for Wakefield stations including in Pontefract, Featherstone, and Knottingley

On March 6, the Department for Transport announced that individual stations across the country would display performance data on screens to “help rebuild trust with passengers.”

Passengers can now access the performance data – which includes the percentage of trains cancelled and how punctual trains are at each station – at more than 1,700 stations, through digital screens at major stations or by scanning a QR code at smaller stations.

The data is available at the Office of Rail and Road’s (ORR) new online data portal, which publishes the percentage of trains arriving stations within three minutes of their scheduled arrival, and the percentage of trains that were cancelled, over four-week periods.

The latest data covers the period from February 2 to March 1.

The station within the district which saw the highest percentage of cancellations in this time period was Pontefract Baghill, for which 5.6 per cent of trains were cancelled, and 56 per cent arrived within three minutes of their scheduled arrival.
