Rail regulators say staff strikes and extreme weather conditions are to blame for the mass decline of timely services coming into UK stations.
A new report from the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) found that the standard of train services has plummeted, with an average 29.8% of all trains running late, compared to 27.2% just a few months ago in April. It also found the percentage of cancelled train services has increased from 3.4% to 3.7% since the start of the financial year.
National freight performance is also at its lowest point for the last five years.
