The stations in London where trains are most likely to be cancelled have been “named and shamed” in a bid to improve reliability for passengers.
Homerton station in Hackney was the worst in the capital, with 9.22 per cent of trains cancelled in the four weeks to February 1.
A total of 680 London Overground “Mildmay line” trains that were meant to call at the station, near to the hospital of the same name, failed to turn up.
Nearby Hackney Wick station, which is also served by the Mildmay line, was second worst in London with 8.68 per cent of trains cancelled.
Acton Main Line, which is served by the Elizabeth line, was third and Hackney Central, also on the Mildmay line, was fourth.
It is not the first that London Overground stations have been named as the worst for cancelled trains. Overground services are operated by Arriva Rail London under contract to Transport for London.
There are currently 625,000 daily journeys made on the London Overground.
The Department for Transport has launched digital indicator boards at major stations showing the latest data on the punctuality and reliability of trains.
Passengers at other stations across England can scan a QR code on their phone that will link to Office of Rail and Road data.
Data for more than 1,700 stations is available.
Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said the policy heralds "a new era of rail accountability".
Train reliability across Britain is at a record low, with the equivalent of more than one in 25 services cancelled in the year to February 1.

Ms Alexander said: "Today marks the beginning of a new era of rail accountability. These displays are a step towards rebuilding trust with passengers using our railways, as we continue to tackle the root causes of frustrating delays and cancellations.
"Through fundamental rail reform, we're sweeping away decades of dysfunctionality - putting passengers first, driving growth through connectivity as part of this Government's Plan for Change."
Data is available for the 14 operators funded by the Department for Transport, as well as for other train companies who have agreed it can be displayed.
Analysis by the PA news agency found Ealing Broadway in west London was the major station with the worst reliability of services in the four weeks to February 1.
That is out of the 77 stations with more than 10,000 scheduled services in that period.
The equivalent of 7.9 per cent of services at Ealing Broadway - which is used by Elizabeth line and Great Western Railway trains - were cancelled.
Elizabeth line stations make up seven of the 10 worst “big” stations for cancellations, including Bond Street (7.4 per cent), Farringdon (6.5 per cent) and Paddington (5.6 per cent).
The other three stations are all on Merseyside's Merseyrail network, which has suffered problems with trains being unable to draw electricity from the third rail during wintry weather.
TfL said performance on the Elizabeth line in January was “negatively affected” by poor infrastructure performance on Network Rail’s Western Route and by temporary train crew shortages, which have now been resolved.
A TfL spokesperson said: “We welcome this initiative to provide customers with even greater access to performance data.
“We are committed to offering our customers the most reliable service possible and are proud that the Elizabeth line and the London Overground rank among the country’s busiest railways.
“Train cancellations occur for a number of reasons, many of which are out of our control.
“We work closely with Network Rail, which is responsible for the maintenance of a significant amount of track, signals and other infrastructure on both railways and with our operators to ensure any delays and cancellations are kept to a minimum wherever possible.
“The Elizabeth line alone runs up to 24 trains per hour in its central section, carrying over 800,000 passengers on its busiest days. The performance and cancellation data should be read in this context to understand the experience of customers travelling on our services.”
Jacqueline Starr, chief executive of the Rail Delivery Group, which represents operators, said: "We know how frustrating it is for customers when their train is cancelled or delayed.
"By being transparent with this data and the positive actions we're taking, it shows how serious the industry is in putting this right by continuing to strive for improvements.
"This send a clear message to customers the rail sector is committed to improving punctuality and to find solutions to make train services more reliable."
Natasha Grice, director at watchdog Transport Focus, said: "Passengers tell us they want a reliable, on-time train service and will welcome improvements to information about the punctuality of their service and cancellations being shared more transparently.
"It's important that the industry uses this information to drive up performance."
