How we calculate reliability
- Time-weighted: Reliability is the percentage of operational time with “Good Service”, not a count of incidents. A 23-hour good day with a 1-hour delay scores ~96%, not 50%.
- Operational hours only: Normal overnight closures (“Service Closed”) and planned closures are excluded so they don’t deflate scores.
- Status change tracking: We record every status change from the TfL API (polled every 60 seconds), then calculate the duration of each status period.
- Peak hours: Peak-hour figures cover weekday mornings (07:00-09:30) and evenings (16:30-19:00) only. All-hours figures include the full operational day.
- Refresh frequency: Statistics on this page are recalculated every 5 minutes. Day-of-week patterns are based on the last 90 days of data.
- Data source: All data comes from the Transport for London Unified API.
- New lines: DLR, Elizabeth line, and Tram were recently added to our monitoring. Annual statistics for these lines will become available once a full year of data has been collected.

About the Windrush line
The Windrush line is the Overground route you end up loving for nights out, because it threads through some of London's best going-out areas. Think Shoreditch High Street, Peckham Rye, and Crystal Palace Park (yes, the dinosaurs). It's also the Overground bit with a weekend night service, which makes it even more popular, so check live updates before you head out.
