It can be that, but the worst around here are the Flemish Public
stations. 8 out of 10 times the run 10 to 15 minutes late by the end
of the evening. And they do adjust there schedule on their own JSON
service every morning with seconds precision. I don't know what it is
there, but it's a non commercial station???
I guess they are very bad at planning.
