The On-time performance for Train 84 is 58.4% over the last twelve months- but ‘On-time’ for that train is defined as arriving at the final destination “within 15 minutes of its scheduled arrival time.” If it’s ten minutes early or late, it’s actually on-time, no matter what the passengers might think. And it only achieves that three out of five times. Not so good.
In Switzerland a train is considered late if it arrives 40 seconds or more after the scheduled time. This happens a handful of times out of hundreds of trips.
