Nantwich Station has been ranked in the bottom 100 out of more than 2,600 across the UK for trains arriving on time.
The station is 2,567th out of a total of 2,633 according to a website which rates stations for trains being on time.
But that’s an improvement of 15 places and its previous ranking, says https://www.ontimetrains.co.uk/
In terms of passenger numbers it is the 1,341st busiest station in the UK out of 2,633.
The rankings are based on the station performance over the past 12 weeks.
In that time, the station has had 3,112 services.
Its overall performance score is 62%, calculated based on service punctuality and cancellation frequency.
Just 19% of its services were on time, with another 37% between 1 and 4 minutes late.
More than one in five, 22%, were 10 or more minutes late, and 5% of services were cancelled.
Nearby Wrenbury – served by the same operator Transport for Wales on the Crewe-Shrewsbury line – does not fair much better.
Wrenbury ranks at 2,485th, down 55 from the previous rankings, with an overall performance of 64%.
Crewe is ranked 2,293rd, with 38% of services on time but 6% cancelled.
I agree with Sandra…
The facilities at nantwich station or should i say the lack of facilities is appalling…1 shelter on both platforms which only hold about 8 to 10 people.
No toilets..etc on busy mornings there could be 30 or more traveler’s waiting for a train.
I don’t think that punctuality of Trains is a good measure for the station. It’s not a destination or a start point. So trains arrive when they arrive. What is more interesting? Would be things like:
Parking spaces
How to buy a ticket
Is there a shelter if it rains?
Can you sit down on the platform?
Is the station wheelchair friendly?
Both platforms be accessed.
What are the toilet facilities?
Is there Someone available to get ramp?
Is there someday available to help carry luggage?
Kind regards,

At a time, with global warming, when we should all be using public transport more, this is a very sad story.
I was hoping that the service would improve when Transport for Wales took it on. However, their ticket machines will sell you dearer tickets than they should. Last time I travelled with them, I bought tickets from their guard, and he overcharged me. I have complained, and am still waiting for compensation. If you claim compensation for the frequent delays, you have to wait for ages for the payments…
At least we now get a Welsh commentary on the over crowded and too small trains, as we travel from Hellath Wen (Nantwich) to Manceinion (Manchester)!
