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 Mon 1 Apr 2024 and Mon 13 May 2024).
By this measure the best performing services are the 15:50 and 17:50 departures from Manchester Piccadilly, which arrived no more than 5 minutes late 90% of the time.
When looking at the average arrival time remember it is just the average. Sometimes the service arrived earlier than this, sometimes later.
