I think you need to re-check your data as the official Network Rail statistics show Chiltern are 4th behind C2C, Merseyrail & London Overground.

Editor's note: As the story says, these are statistics for train arrivals within a minute of the scheduled time, not those for trains arriving at their destinations within five minutes for commuter services and within 10 minutes for long distance services, which is the information you have linked to.

Why is this news for Wallingford? Last time I looked it was First Great Worsten for us.

Chiltern are great. I used to live over their way and the service was cheaper and more reliable. I don't think I've taken a train to London from Paddington that has ever been on time. I will be moving again in a few months time, and will need to commute to London. I'm looking along the Chiltern line again...
