No TOC in London has above 81% punctuality today - worst I can remember in a long time. Anyone caught out? Definitely a day for a beer after work rather than taking the train.

London Bridge & Cannon Street looked bad earlier. Cannon Street was closed as was much of London Bridge with knock on effects to Charing Cross due to a person under a train at 5pm at London Bridge, and Greater Anglia had heat restrictions. Signalling probs at Waterloo and broken down train at Clapham caused problems for SWT. Not sure what happened with FGW and southern - speed restrictions with FGW & knock on effects with southern due to L Bridge problems even though the person under was at platform 1 on the SE part of London Bridge?

Looking at Open Train Times paints a rather different picture, with half the TOCs in the Network Area hitting over 81% PPM (namely Heathrow Express, Heathrow Connect, c2c, Chiltern, London Overground and London Midland).

Really? Given that they were heavily disrupted by the problem at Denmark Hill and also had other issues at Dalston Junction.

What about weighted average taking into account number of services? For the likes of LM and FGW it would be polite when comparing "London TOCs" to just include London (and surrounding area) services...
