Indian Railways — late running trains | |||
Sir, I am a constant traveler on the route of dehra dun to gorakhpur and vise-versa for my personal use. The train that is only and most suitable is the rapti-ganga express that runs thrice a week. Though the train is the main source of transportation of people from eastern india to the northern india and to get a berth booked in this train like climbing one the himalayan mountains, unfortunately, the government and the railway ministry has not thought of increasing the frequency of the train to daily basis and nor has thought of adding a few more boogies to it. But of last this train which use to complete its journey in time, which was the best part, has since the october of 2017 started running late, by as much as 12 to 16 hrs, in one case as per my experience the railways had to cancel this train in dehradun, due to its late arrival time to the tune of 20 hrs. I once had to spend excruciating hours in gorakhpur railway station when the train that departed from gkp at 2115hrs, monday, was postponed to 0230 hrs the next day. Yesterday the same train started about 6 hrs late from gkp and has yet to reach ddn. And as per the station master of ddn station it will start for gkp at around 2355hrs. What is this happening sir? The railway minster and the pm of india mentions a lot about the security on the train, upping the standard of the train, increases the fare of the train tickets and yet we see to just complete 800 or so kms from gkp to ddn an express train takes unimaginable time causing untold pain, anxiety and sufferings to the passengers young and old alike. When the minister and the railways cannot make a train run in time, how will a bullet train run in india? How will the other ambitious projects announced by the pm will see the light of the day and have a successful run. We the customers of indian railways only want our trains to be safe, clean, trustworthy and run in time. Time is very important for all o[censored]s, but we waste a lot of time just trying to board a train that reaching our destination in time. Please go for improving the basic facilities of train services to make a traveler's experience enjoyable and worthy. Thanks and hope for positive response. Regards a concerned traveler.
