Recorded from 00:00 to 23:56. The figures use the last delay announced at each of the 1,968 stops that had one, as the operator sent it. Cancelled trains (marked cancelled, or with every stop skipped), skipped stops and values over an hour early or twelve hours late are left out. 79% of the stops of the trains that ran (skipped stops aside) had a delay.
The archive saw 228 of the 228 trains the timetable planned for this day.
No data from 06:00–22:00: the feed was read but sent almost no trains (06:00–22:00), so these figures cover only part of the day.
