IT seems not a day goes by when trains are not delayed for a variety of reasons across Gwent.
And now new statistics – taken from Freedom of Information data submitted to Network Rail – reveal just how often you will be left standing on the platform, glancing with irritation left or right, waiting for your train to arrive.
A 'Departure Bored' tool, created by RotaCloud, shows how likely it is that you will face delays the next time you need to catch the train.
The data is taken from January 2019-2020 and includes most stations across Gwent – but some are missing.
