Indian Railways — Delay in Service
I boarded the Patna Rajdhani(Train # 2310) on 23rd jan 09 at 5:10 pm and was supposed to reach the Destination station (Rajender Nagar) the next morning by 6:00 am. However the train met with some “PowerCor” (part of train) problem midway and was stopped in an unknown location for close to 2 hrs. During this entire outage, there was just a single announcement made while the electricity was about to be taken off. Except for that, there weren’t any proper announcements made of the “Nature of the Problem” nor any ETA given.We hoped that the delay caused will be covered and the authorities will try making the passengers meet their destination on right time but all in vain. The train got delayed by COMPLETE 2 HRS. But what was more pathetic and disgusting was that after reaching Patna Station at 8:00 am on 24th Morning, the train was halted and didn’t move for about 15-20 mins. Again there was no announcement made of the delay being caused. All the passengers on board waiting to get down at Rajendra Nagar were hopelessly waiting for the train to move. Almost 45 hrs passed and no progress at all. Ultimately I had to get down enquiring people on platform and from one of the attendants on the train I got to know that “there was no guarantee of train moving”…..It might take half an hr more, maybe an hour…maybe 4 hrs. Quite naturally, as there was no proper announcement made either inside the train Or on the platform, everyone was making their wild guesses, but the fact remained the same that the train wasn’t moving an inch ahead.
After getting completely frustrated and endlessly waiting, I got down to catch an auto and reached my destination. But My Question is, Why was I made to wait for 1 hr almost to reach my destination when it would have taken just 15 mins had the train moved ON TIME?
My sorrow didn’t end here….I boarded the return train, the Same Patna Rajdhani (Train # 2309) on 27th Jan 09 evening. Again the same story, the train was supposed to start sharp at 7:00 pm, but I wasted complete 1 hour sitting like a fool in train and just waiting for the train to move with no clue as to why it was standing on the same station. Again no announcement. Finally the train moved (delayed by 1 hour) and I again hoped that the train will cope up the delay to make the passengers reach on time next day i.e. by 8:00 am BUT the train dropped us at the New Delhi station at around 10:00 am. (Close to 2 hours delay). What was more annoying was that inspite of the delay that had occurred, the train was stopping on each and every single misc stations adding to the delay.
Overall my journey (both to and fro) was really upsetting and frustrating due to the 4-5 hours total delay caused.
I have the following questions to ask to the authorities:
1)Are the speakers attached on train only used to play music for the passengers? Should they not be used during crisis/emergency to keep them notified/updated?
2)Why do we pay so heavily for travelling in Rajdhani when we get the treatment of local train?
3)Who is to be held responsible for loss of time of the passengers?
4)During all this delay caused, the train authorities didn’t even bother to provide proper meal to the passengers. The train which was supposed to reach by 8:00 am, passengers were given mere 2 biscuits and Tea/Coffee but they actually reached the station by 10:00 am starving from hunger. Are the authorities not sensible enough to make alternate food arrangements for the passengers for the delay caused by them?
Can the responsible authorities reading this mail, provide an appropriate response ASAP?
