Punctuality is a critical performance measure for passenger train services. A statistical analysis has been performed of train traffic at The Hague HS station, the Netherlands. In general, the arrival punctuality level is rather well, but the train delays increase for most lines at this station. Late arrival delays and excess dwell times generally fit well to an exponential and a normal distribution respectively. A stochastic delay propagation model is presented, which predicts reasonably well the departure punctuality level of late arrival trains at the station.
