Hey, I’m sorry for the delay, had to take a train yesterday (how fitting). I think you have a point. I got the German statistics from the official site https:

Hey, I’m sorry for the delay, had to take a train yesterday (how fitting). I think you have a point. I got the German statistics from the official site https://zbir.deutschebahn.com/2025/en/interim-group-management-report-unaudited/quality-and-security/punctuality/ https://zbir.deutschebahn.com/2025/en/interim-group-manageme... and yep.. I missread, dbahn marks passenger trains as delayed after >5 min. Only cargo passengers are marked delayed after >15min. It seems that India doesn’t really release this data officially but it can be obtained from third parties. In this specific case, I got my figure from a news article. I am not entirely sure about the primary source, they just quote a gov. official statement. However, It seems that somebody released a public dataset to Kaggle https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/rxydenxd/indian-railways-delay-dataset https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/rxydenxd/indian-railways-del... but it’s older than the news I read. From what I read, the main criticism is that the 80% just takes into account the delay at the last station, not the intermediate ones and 15 min is indeed a lot.
