Latest period summary
Lawley Street received 33 monitored inbound services in Period 2 2026-27 — 97% arrived within 15 minutes of schedule across 32 completed arrivals, against a national freight benchmark of 90%. The small sample of 32 completed arrivals produces a Wilson interval of 87%–99%; the +10 percentage-point move on Period 1 2026-27 (87%) sits within plausible sampling variation given the sample size. PRELIMINARY at T+2; FINAL re-publication at T+35 after Network Rail's batch correction.
