That's not correct, statistically about 90% of the train arrives at a station in time. A few years ago the lowest percentage was 82%. In the Netherlands we have sharper rules, we called a train which was more than 2 minutes late, too late. While in the most parts of Europe a train was late when a train was 5 minutes late.
For example England should be horrifying, since none of the material seems to be up to date.
