Great Western Railway said it was also working to reduce delays, but added that "smaller stations with fewer services will be disproportionately affected by this data".
Across England, about 3% of scheduled stops were cancelled in the year to August, according to Office of Rail and Road (ORR) figures analysed by BBC - roughly the same as the previous year.
The average for the West Midlands region was about 4%.
The worst-offending station, Ilfield in West Sussex, saw 10.4% of its trains cancelled in that period, although less-busy stations like Ilfield[/bb] and Ledbury may see higher percentages of cancellations because they have fewer trains so their data is more volatile.

What a load of statistical bunkum! The sample size is plenty big enough to ensure that the data is significant. I'll give you that data for Pilning - 100 services per year - would be volatile / effected by individual cancellations. Ledbury has around 13,000 services calling each year ... a cancellation at Pilning would make a difference of 1%; a cancellation at Ledbury would make 0.008% difference

Maybe GWR will make a similar pledge about the Paddington to Hereford route, and the Cotswold line services?
Mind you, I'll believe it when it happens
