A man has an office

A man has an office north of his home and a factory south of his home. Every day he goes to the train platform at completely random, different times. There is a train going north, stopping on one side of the platform, every ten minutes. There is a train going south, stopping on the other side of the same platform, every ten minutes. He always takes the first train that comes along after his arrival on the platform. Nine days out of ten he goes to his office. Why?

:Because the train he catches to the office arrives on average 9 minutes after the train going to the factory.
 
Got any Easy ones?

...is it because the train for his office arrives at the side of the platform he usually comes in from?

If you highlight the first response to this thread, THUDandBLUNDER has already posted the key point (using hide tags, so it only shows up when highlighted, or when replying)
