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 Immingham is the UK’s largest port by tonnage and the principal bulk-cargo gateway on the Humber estuary. Operated by Associated British Ports, its rail terminals handle the biomass flows feeding Drax Power Station, refinery products from the Humber and Lindsey complexes, and container traffic via the Immingham Container Terminal.
