Are there any differences between "right on time" and "bang on time"? When translating from English into Russian, problems can arise and one of them is ONE AND THE SAME TRANSLATION. Are there any differences between "right on time" and "bang on time"?

I think of "bang on time" as being UK English rather than U.S. English. "Right on time" is definitely used here.

Hi Alexei, good question. These two phrases mean exactly the same thing. However, if we really wanted to distinguish between them, we could say that 'bang on time' is more idiomatic/informal/colloquial. Hope this is helpful!
