Is this sentence wrong?

Is there something grammatically wrong with this sentence? Can someone explain why or why not? Thank you.

'I was not late to reach the station.'

  

Top answer

I wouldn't say it is wrong, but it is not natural English. People usually say eg I was not late reaching the station. eg I was not late when I reached the station.
