I'd wager that this person wasn't doing a lot of travelling around cities during rush hour commutes. >I travelled quite extensively throughout Europe by train in the last three months and of all countries visited it was the UK which had the best record when it came to trains running on time as I don’t think I had one which arrived more than five minutes late. This particularly struck me as odd, as when I used to commute by train from to Manchester just a few years ago, I tracked at least 25% of my trains as being late. The latest train was 1.5 hours late (going from Manchester), constantly being updated as being 15 minutes late... then another 15 minutes... I was about to bite the bullet and pay for a taxi as it showed up.
