Indeed but I don't it is realistic to everything to work like clockwork every single day of the year (which from your posts you seem to do) - that just doesn't happen anywhere. That day in July was just bizarre to say the least - it was a day when everything conspired against the railway running properly, and frankly the railway did fail their customers.
I would expect things to work properly the majority of the time, which to be fair they would appear to do, but you do have to allow for something occasionally going wrong. Again we don't live in utopia.
I would ask how are you defining "quite common"?
