Problems with the actual trains seemed to be few and far between and delays were more often down to heavy use, eg on match day, so whichever way, the condition of the trains is more of a problem, now.
And being late for work one day a fortnight will get some people into a lot of trouble, so a 9/10 success rate is a bit poor, really!
