Mussolini did not make the trains run on time, as US fascists claimed; that was the only thing in Italy that was working properly when he came to power. Never believe right-wing propaganda.
There was a time (1970s) when British Rail was very reliable: Every train was at least a quarter-hour late! That’s “clockwork” for you; the SLOW clock, which is never correct!

I always heard that British Rail ran like clockwork. What about other European countries?

Unless someone decides to off himself by jumping onto the tracks, the trains in Japan run like clockwork.

Buses run late because of passengers who aren’t ready.
