More than two out of five train services in Britain during the first half of the year were delayed, new figures show.
Some 41% of services in that period were at least one minute late, according to BBC analysis of industry data collated by website On Time Trains.
A further 3% were cancelled, while 56% were on time.
Stations in Wales had the highest cancellations rate between January and July, at 7%.
Across English regions, the highest figure was in the North East (6%).
Of Britain’s 100 busiest stations, Huddersfield had the highest rate of cancellations (13%) with more than 5,500 trains due to serve the station axed.
This was followed by Manchester Victoria (10%), while York, Newcastle and Manchester Oxford Road all had the joint third highest figure (9%).
