The town abandoning rail travel because 1 in 10 trains never turn up

Hartlepool in the Tees Valley currently has the worst cancellation figures of any major railway station in England

Passengers at one of the country’s worst railway stations for cancellations say trying to use the train is “not worth the stress” and they are forced to use the bus or drive instead.

One in 10 train services were cancelled at Hartlepool in the four weeks between 5 January and 1 February, according to new figures published this week.
