Looks like a couple of 9car IETs (Padd-Oxford, two diagrams) along with a turbo on the Gatwick run.

Your stats appear to include Engineering works? Those ought to be discounted for this purpose?
The graphic is short term (today's late) cancellations. They do not include engineering works that were timetabled in, though they will include emergency engineering works.
Now - things like
11:29 Gatwick Airport to Reading due 12:57 will be cancelled.
This is due to more trains than usual needing repairs at the same time.
could be considered to be engineering works on trains, and I do not believe that they should be discounted for the purposes of cancellation logs. You may chose to differ with that view, ChrisB, but for passengers the failure of a train to turn up when they went to bed last night expecting one is enough for it to go on the map - be it shortage of crew, train breakdown, broken rail (wait - that's engineering) or cows on the line.This is due to more trains than usual needing repairs at the same time.

Off to Weymouth today ... National Rail tells me that GWR are offering a good service, but journey check and our mapping of the data tell a different story
Or - is only 42 cancellations a good service?
