War-torn Ukraine running more reliable train service than TransPennine Express

“No matter how heavily they shell us we keep running"

War-torn Ukraine is running a more reliable train service than some UK operators, it has been revealed.

Ukrainian Railways shared its punctuality record for the first week of January, showing 95 per cent of trains departed on schedule and 96 per cent arrived on time too.

The latest data for UK services shows TransPennine Express (TPE) finished the period to November 12th with a ‘right time at destination’ figure of 41.1 per cent – meaning less than half of all trains were on time.

“A total of 584 services were full or part cancelled on the day over this period,” the report notes. “These figures, however, exclude pre-cancelled (or P-coded) trains.

Elsewhere, statistical analysis shows Britain’s trains have had their least reliable year since records began last year.

The figures show that 3.6 per cent of planned trains were cancelled or part-cancelled in the 12 months to 23rd July.

The disruption includes repeated strikes, severe weather conditions and Covid-related staff absences.

Ukrainian rail has become a figurehead of the staunch resilience in the country since the outbreak of the war in February 2022.

The service hasn’t completely stopped since that date “for more than two hours”, despite the fighting across the country, Ukrainian Railways CEO Alexander Kamyshin told AFP at the InnoTrans trade fair in Berlin.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
