- 43 3 announced over a day ahead, 40 later
Recorded from 00:00 to 23:59. The figures use the last delay announced at each of the 42,946 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, as are 23 placeholder values the feed sent instead of a time (a train “here, now” hours late, or one time repeated at every stop). 100% of the stops of the trains that ran (skipped stops aside) had a delay.
The archive saw 4,825 of the 5,075 trains the timetable planned for this day.
Not counted in the trains planned: 15 more trains the timetable lists on lines the live feed has not carried in the week before (Miljoenenlijn, NS).
