Methodology & sources

All figures derive from Network Rail's NROD TRUST feed, processed via the Gauge Intelligence ingest pipeline. Period definitions, A2F (Arrival to Fifteen), the Wilson 90% interval, daily anomaly rules, cross-view reconciliation, and delay attribution are documented at:

Data window — period boundaries and the data-as-of cutoff
League tables — cross-view reconciliation across the four analytical views
Anomaly detection — daily A2F SPC rules
Delay attribution — DAPR cause-code breakdown
Forecasting — prediction intervals and possession-exposure estimates

The Port of Harwich, historically Parkeston Quay, is the Hutchison Ports facility on the Stour estuary in Essex. It is the second of the Haven Ports group, with Felixstowe, both operating as port-based intermodal. Outbound rail freight runs via the Mayflower line and Manningtree Junction onto the Great Eastern Main Line. Rail-freight activity at the Port of Harwich is negligible in the current TRUST data window — fewer than a dozen monitored services per period — so no period report is published yet; one will follow when volume clears.
