BA837 [DUB-LHR] time keeping

I am a frequent flier from BHD to LHR and we all know that extra time is added to flight schedules so they can say that they are on time, or even early, when the reality is that they're 55 minute flight (plus taxiing at both ends) is less than what is advertised.
As for most local flights they mostly run on time which is what I would expect for those from Dublin.

In a few days (Wednesday 13th November) we will be flying the BA837 DUB to LHR as the first leg of trip to HKG (BA took over what was originally a CX direct flight to HKG as I have mentioned in a previous post).
The connection is 70 minutes so I thought I would look to see how punctual it was.

I'm surprised that in 11 days it's twice been almost an hour late and twice about a quarter of an hour. Is this a route that tends to be more late than on time?
