Source of these cards and rankings: train_runs and line_daily_stats for the month (last delay seen for each train, over the trains seen); the Wilson CIs are for that figure. The «over scheduled trains» table uses another base (arrival at destination over scheduled trains) and may give another figure.

How we measure it

Each train counts once per service day, with the last known delay of its journey. For lines we use the daily punctuality of each line.
On time = less than 3 minutes late. Percentages only use trains whose delay we know; delays more than 60 min early or 120 min late are discarded as implausible.
Operators are ranked with at least 3,000 trains with a known delay in the month and a known delay for 30 % of their trains or more; lines, with at least 1,000.
We merge the different spellings of each operator. Countries that only publish timetables, without real-time delays, are left out of the ranking.
We only use sources whose licence allows commercial use. Sources and licences
