From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

A total of 92.0% of trains ran on time in the late summer period, Network Rail said today.

The figure, for the period July 22 to Aug 18 this year, compared with 92.3% for the same period last year.

The poorest-performing company was Arriva Trains Wales, whose trains-on-time figure of 86.2% was affected by a landslip that delayed services in the busy Cardiff Valley area.

The best-performing company was the London to Tilbury and Southend operator c2c which ran 97.4% of trains on time.
