I read this in earlier in the year:

The Dunblane service always leaves a minute late when going into Edinburgh. It ALWAYS comes a minute after it's due time.
Also ay Haymarket trains are bad for being late with the board saying it's on time.
I'm sure I heard a conductor say one time his trains are never late is it just some of them prefer to leave late if anybody is running for the train? Why not make the train a minute later when the Dunblane always runs late. Another question with regards to the service into Edinburgh. Why does it always go as slow at Edinburgh Park? Is it the Falkirk High trains are running ahead?

ALASTAIR DALTON in The Scotsman said:ScotRail trains late 40% of the time, figures show
FOUR in ten ScotRail trains fail to arrive on time, in one of the worst performances in Britain, new figures showed today.
• ScotRail has fourth worst figure in Britain for “right-time” performance
• Virgin Trains blamed Network Rail for 75 per cent of their delays.
Only 59.8 per cent of ScotRail trains reached their destination within one minute of schedule in the year to last Saturday, track owner Network Rail has reported.
This the fourth lowest figure among Britain’s 19 train operators, with only cross-Border firms Virgin Trains and CrossCountry, and Southern, worse for so-called “right-time” performance.
ScotRail operates several long-distance routes, but some two-thirds of its passengers travel in the Glasgow area, on relatively short-distance journeys.
A total of 92.9 per cent of ScotRail trains arrived within five minutes over the same period.
Fewer than half of Virgin Trains’ services, which operate between Scotland, Birmingham and London on the west coast main line, arrived within one minute, but more than eight in ten arrived within ten minutes.
