And as far as delays go, I believe it is (or was, last I looked) nr 3 in the world, after Japan and Switzerland. Of course, Japan's trains are world-class, but at least those are widely recognised as such. The Dutch rail network is much denser than Switzerlands, but catches a lot of flak. (Which is not to say that it can't or shouldn't be improved, but it's also good to recognise what's going well.)
