Indian Railways — Delayed Running Hours of Trains from Chennai to Coimbatore and back

Address:

7B SRI RAM NAGAR, PRADEE VILLA, KALAPATTI POST

Mostly all the day time super-fast trains are running late every day from 30minutes to 1-hour or sometimes up to 2hours in Chennai to Coimbatore and Chennai route.

I remember the Kovai Express was running with sharp timings from 1982 to 1992. It was taking only 6hours to reach Chennai to Coimbatore and from Coimbatore to Chennai with the stoppage of 6station and later on the stopping are increased and now the train running hours is 7:30 if it runs on time. Every day the trains are running with the delay and we did not see any serious actions taken to correct this system.

It means, the railways will not keep up the time and there is absolutely no discipline.

At this juncture, the Railways introduced the new super fast train Vande Bhart recently and I am sure that this train is will also running with the delayed running hours to reach the destination.

Railways should take the call that if any train is getting delayed more than 30 minutes running time then refund amount of 25% on the ticket charges will be paid to the passenger as a compensation in the counters, if they produce the ticket sms. This is one type of penalization for railways. If they implement this successfully, then I hope all the trains will run on time in India.
