Period: November 2025 to September 2026 without July 2026. Counted by the state of the station, not by the path of a train. Few long-distance stops (for example in Saarland or Bremen) make the values there less certain. On time = under 6 minutes late. Public timetable data, not Deutsche Bahn's own measurement.
