> Just 60 per cent of long-distance German trains arrive on time, down from 84 per cent two decades ago.

If that's from the official statistics, it's even worse. The definition of 'on time' has expanded (6 minutes late is perfectly punctually and on time, right?) and they stopped counting trains that are too late by simply canceling them. If the train is not running, it cant be late. Brilliant.
