    Additionally, the number presented is most likely too high, since it’s more important to tune the numbers than to provide good service.

    Example: a late train can be taken out of service and replaced, or even not. Voila! Not late anymore.

    I wish this wasn’t the reality.

      There is also the infamous <insert-name of current minister of infrastructure>-Wende (turnaround). In order to not be late anymore some trains just turned around two or three stops short of the actual destination.

      France does the same, a cancelled train isn’t delayed according to SNCF.
