It's amazing to see how the percentage of late trains has increased since 2011. That year, trains were on time 84% of the time, which means that they were late 16% of the time. By 2023, the proportion of trains running on time had fallen to 59%, which means that the trains were late 41% of the time. The rate for delays rose from 16% to 41%. That's a staggering percentage.
I imagine that tough discussions are taking place. There must be ways to solve this problem. It really doesn't make sense for trains to run late 41% of the time.
