I think its difficult to compare schedules for SEPTA and Amtrak. Sometimes pulling into Paoli early is a blessing because it allows for a little time for passenger boarding/discharge. The NEC schedule, however, is fairly tight based solely on personal observation, for Amtrak trains. They are not making local stops. SEPTA's RRD scheduling could definitely use some tweaking (actually a lot of it 
), but slippery rail, weather conditions, boarding from low level platforms, people with excessive luggage, all of these things can easily set a SEPTA local behind schedule.
