Did you actually consider context?  If you did why only refer to only 1 of 3
possible sets of figures, that is 20 best services (provided), their departure
times (some provided) and their on-time performance (not provided at all)?

You were disingenuous (and deliberately took my response out of context)
because you predictably chose the obviously wrong figures and failed to
acknowledge the others.

By what logic would you choose 20 best services (or were you playing the fool
and referring to the totally irrelevant 3.3% fare increase)?
