RAILWAY “blackspots” have been identified where services frequently fail to run on time.
Passengers using Manchester Oxford Road suffer from the worst punctuality out of all the stations analysed by consumer group Which? with 68 per cent of its trains being late or cancelled since the beginning of the year.
York station saw the second worst performance out of those ranked, with 65 per cent of trains departing or arriving late, or cancelled.
Joint third on the list was Birmingham New Street and Gatwick Airport stations, where 60 per cent fail to run to schedule.
Last month the Government commissioned a review of Britain’s railways which will consider all parts of the network, including accountability, the franchising system and value for money.
