Does anyone know where I can find honest, impartial, regular (preferably monthly) punctuality and performance statistics in plain English for the Elizabeth line please? I'm wanting to monitor performance to establish whether the Elizabeth line is a viable option from Essex to Heathrow later this year, or still too unreliable.
Despite searching online, I'm struggling to ffind things relatively recent (within the last 3 months or less). Thank you for any leads.

I'm not sure how performance statistics over a 3 month period will determine whether you will get from Essex to Heathrow on a particular day.
I use the line most days and generally it runs very well. There are problems on some days and the section between Paddington and Heathrow does suffer more than most because of things like overhead wiring problems.
I honestly don't think there is a better way to get from Essex to the airport.

You could try searching on www.recenttraintimes.co.uk/ for your intended travel times and see the actual arrival times. The important thing about the Elizabeth Line though, is even if a train is cancelled, you won't have long to wait for the next one. It's not like you are relying on a once an hour service with no alternative. |

That's only true in the centre but not so much outer area

If I’m considering a time critical journey, I use it to get a sense of how risky that journey is. |
