Punctuality

Number of trains arriving with a delay less than or equal to a given threshold ( = ‘arriving on time’), divided by the total number of trains that have not been cancelled (see A.IV-15) and multiplied by 100. For freight trains, commonly used classes are: - between 15 and 60 minutes; - more than 60 minutes. For passengers trains, commonly used classes are: - between 5 and 15 minutes; - between 16 and 60 minutes; - between 61 minutes and 120 minutes; - more than 120 minutes. This percentage is calculated by the same type of train (freight/passenger), possibly by the same subtype as for cancelled trains (domestic/international for freight; suburban and regional/conventional long-distance and high-speed for passengers). Different regions may have different thresholds.
