Less than half Avanti West Coast, Northern and TransPennine Express services arrived on time between October 16 and November 12 this year according to the Office of Rail and Road (ORR).
Just a third of Avanti services ran on time in that period whilst 45.8 per cent of TransPennie Express services were on time and 48 per cent of Northern services.
The national figure was 60.7% for trains running on time overall.
A spokesman for the Rail Delivery Group, which represents operators said: "This year has seen a national rail dispute and extreme weather challenges ranging from three named storms and flooding to heatwaves where temperatures peaked above 40 degrees.
"It is also important to consider wider data.”
Following a meeting with northern regional leaders the transport secretary Mark Harper said action was needed to fix the disruption "causing misery for millions."
