Can anyone back Simon Lane's claim of having a 92.6% on-time running of
suburban services as of June 1999 (SMH Letters 11/8/1999) ? It seems that
75% of all off-peak trains from the west are late!

Trains are not considered late until 5 min after timetabled time. Also
trains which are running late get transposed and are then considered on
time.
There are a few other tricks that they use.
