The end point and all stations on-time performance for all of Amtrak's trains deteriorated signifcantly in FY14. In FY14 the end point on-time performance for the long distance trains was 50.4 per cent, down from 71.9 per cent in FY13 and 70.7 per cent in FY12. The all stations on-time performance was 40.0 per cent, down from 54.6 per cent in FY13 and 54.8 per cent in FY12. The best on-time end performance was chalked up by the City of New Orleans at 88 per cent; the worst was the Empire Builder at 26. 6 per cent. The best all stations on-time performance was turned in by the Palametto at 72.6 per cent; the worst was racked up by the Lake Shore Limited at 44.6 per cent.  In the NEC the Acelas were on time at their end points 74.9 per cent, down from 85.3 per cent in FY13 and 89.7 per cent in FY12.  The NEC regional trains were on time at their end points 75.3 per cent in FY14, down from 84.2 per cent in FY13 and 86.5 per cent in FY12. The State Supported and Other Short Distance Trains were on-time at their end points 73.8 per cent in FY14, down from 82 per cent in FY13 and FY13. The Capitols had the best end point on time performance at 95.3 per cent, which was essentially unchanged from FY13 and FY12.  The worst end point on-time performance was turned in by the Wolverines at 33 per cent. Overall the system on-time end point performance declined by 9.9 per cent from FY13, and the all stations on-time numbers declined by 7.5 per cent. The on-time performance record for a day or a week or a month is not a good incidator of how the system is performing overall.  One should look at a minimum of one year to identify trends, etc.
