How we rank commute reliability

Reliability orders eligible stations by ORR Time to 3, highest first: recorded arrivals within three minutes of schedule. Ties use fewer scheduled calls not calling, then shorter checked train time, then a stable station identifier. Prices never enter this order. Missing or low-quality figures stay unranked and appear last.

Time to 3 uses recorded stops; scheduled trains not calling uses scheduled stops. These different denominators do not add to 100%. ORR flags fewer than 56 scheduled stops, or fewer than 50% of expected stops recorded, as low quality. We do not rank those figures.

Railway period 6 of 2026–27 · provisional, revisable station-wide management information. Download checked 2026-10-23, matching the stored ORR file; not the April–June national quarterly release. Station-wide history covers all calling trains, not just the London service or your commute.

Times are the shortest verified direct, single-train itineraries returned for arrival by 08:00, 09:00, 10:00 UK time on 28 Oct 2026, checked 23 Oct 2026. Only the existing catalogue terminal is queried. Not an all-day fastest service, typical journey, door-to-door time or frequency survey. Peak frequency and a combined Commute score are not available; no composite is calculated.

44 catalogue station/terminal pairs checked; Surrey and nearby border places only, not an exhaustive London commuter-belt comparison. One place represents each station (the same-named catalogue town where available, otherwise the closest mapped reference point). Reference-to-station distances are straight-line, not walks. “Outside Greater London” uses the catalogue place's region, not a home boundary check.

Each home-price figure names its property type, geography and period: HMLR completed-sale district medians, Sep 2024–Aug 2026, or ONS neighbourhood medians, year to March 2026. At least ten sales are required. No all-type or pooled-neighbourhood median is invented. With a budget, a place qualifies if at least one labelled geography has a published median at or below it; that does not mean every home is affordable.
