We now discuss how a state-of-the-art simulation model, OnTime, based on typical delay propagation theory 39 (the Methods section describes its assumptions and functioning, and its calibration for the test case) can partially replicate the degree by which the delay performance of passenger trains improved in the area of Basel, and decreased in the area of Schaffhausen. Newly designed statistical tests were applied to delay analysis in railway networks, performed at different percentile levels, over multiple time scales, and two specific factors (reduced entrance delay for passenger trains and rerouted freight trains).	./cache/cord-305031-9ze0097w.txt	./txt/cord-305031-9ze0097w.txt
