Recorded from 00:00 to 23:59. The figures use the last delay announced at each of the 59,274 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. 100% of the stops of the trains that ran (skipped stops aside) had a delay.
The archive saw 5,791 of the 6,246 trains the timetable planned for this day.
Archive outage from 05:00 to 12:15: the archive itself recorded nothing then, from any source (the archive's collector ran out of memory and restarted in a loop). Our fault, not Dutch rail (OVapi)’s: these figures cover the rest of the day.

What the columns mean
service_date- The day the train was scheduled to run.
route- The line, as the operator names it (for example IC 3 or S2).
trip_id- The operator’s code for this train run. The same train on another day has another code.

stop_sequence, stop_id, stop_name- Which stop along the route: its position, code and name.
arrival_delay_min, departure_delay_min- How late the train was at that stop, in minutes. Negative means early. Empty when the operator gave a time but no delay.
predicted_arrival, predicted_departure- The time the operator last announced for that stop, in local time.
observed_at- When that last announcement was seen. After the train has passed, it is what happened.
trip_status- scheduled, cancelled or added (a train that was not in the timetable).
