[Resolved] Indian Railways — Late Running of Train | |||
Yesterday I have travelled by Train No.08056 Tirupati - Shalimar Super Fast Special Train. I have boarded the train at Gudur Junction where the scheduled departure is 22.00 whereas the train has departed at 23.30 one & half hour late. The scheduled arrival of the train is 09.15 am whereas the train reached Visakhapatnam at 12.30 PM which is 3 hours late from scheduled arrival time. I do not why Indian Railways runs special trains as they will never run on time & all the ordinary passenger trains are run on schedule & keeping these special trains aside for no reason. However, Indian Railways has charged us Super Fast charges for these special train for running unreasonable late. Indian Railways is taking the passengers for a ride & no body answered for late running which puts the passengers to face hardships. My only suggestion is to stop running special trains & to manage with the existing trains as the Railways do not know how to run the trains on schedule time. Was this information helpful? | |||

I am daily commuter by train between stations Ankleshwar and Vadodara, by local MEMU train no: 712 & 711. Arrival time of MEMu 711 from Bhilad to Vadodara at Ankleshwar station was 18:42 and that was changed to 18:47 and from the very first day of time changed, train has not arrived on right time. after that it is also placed in sidings for passing Bhilard Exps. and even Rajdhani also which means train reaching Vadodara around 21:15 to 21:30. This is very harassing. Since no new train was inserted before this train then whats need of delaying the time and harassing the passengers. I would like to request Rail Minister to look in to the matter and regularize the running time of train so that lots of passenger like me commuting for job dont get frustrated.
MNK — Late running of Specials
Respected sirI am regular traveller on Rail in the MS-NCJ sector, Whenever I travel in the specials, The trains is purposefully detained at stations after MAdurai for Hours and used to reach destination very late, IF this delay is a Must Why dont you reschedule your Timetable and charge less from People, I fear Some of the officials of stations Beyond MAdurai is keeping train at their stations for flimsy reasons, as The trains normally ply on right time upto Madurai
The train no 06004 of 20.12.2010 supposed to reach Chengannur at 18.15hrs but till now (21.45hrs) it has not reached and no infn on whether the train has left Quilon at all. The funniest part is, the "Spot your train" says the train has left "IN TIME" from Chengannur even now, whereas the train has not even left Quilon.

Indian Railways — Taking Superfast charge on ordinary trains
To,Railway minister
CC to : Railway General Manager,
Southern Railway
2257 KOCHUVELI GR For this train Railway is charging Super fast train 30 rs and there is a clause that 55 Km per hour should be managed as an average speed for Super fast trains.
It starts from here YPR YESVANTPUR JN 1 - 21:00 and reaches KCVL KOCHUVELI 1 12:40 which is 0808 kms away .
Speed = DIstance / time
So the avg speed is 15 hours 40 minutes
speed =808/15.66 = 51 Km per hour . Then why are you taking this charge ..Please remove this charge of 30 Rs .
Railway is fooling people and trying to join the Bus lobby.There is only one train from Kerala on Sunday to Bangalore when there is 90 or so private buses .The garib rath on the way back starts at midnight in cochin and reaches by 12 pm .that too on Tuesdays(nbothing on weekends).. So most of the people dont gain anything out of this .So it goes unoccupied and slowly Railway will stop it saying it is loss.It stopped Hosur stop because lot of people working in Bangalore were making use of this stop since the next stop is 60 km or so away.
We want a stop near Electronic CIty which is easily accessible by Bus.
We want more trains on Sunday and Fridays to Bangalore and from Bangalore to Kerala when there is more need since train charge is 1/3rd charge of the bus.
