The figure is the trip from here to Waitematā on the South City Line.

How long rides took compared with the timetable, and where time was lost.

A trip counts if it's no more than 5 minutes slower than planned. Arriving early never counts against it.

Punctuality can't see this. A train that leaves late but keeps pace costs you no time on the way. One that leaves on time and crawls does.

We time the ride from here to the city, and back.
