How we measure
We count every night train every night at its last stop, from the operators' own open data: Fintraffic Digitraffic for Finland and Trafikverket for Sweden. On time means at most 5 minutes late, the threshold both use. Trains that ran fewer than 5 times in the month are left out of the ranking. Covered this month: Finland 28 days.
