Indian Railways — Jan shatabdi train running late..

Address:

Kozhikode, Kerala

Respected Sir, Jan shatabdi train (Train No.1208) that runs between Trivandrum and Kannur in Kerala is consistently late by almost 1 hour during Fridays when there is huge rush of passengers during weekend. Due to this passengers from Tirur, Calicut and Kannur are finding it difficult to get vehicles from railway station to their homes.There is no improvement after repeated complaints from passengers. If 'Jan shatabdi' train which is supposed to be a high priority & high speed train, is getting delayed as normal train, why do Railways charge the additional fare, (which is more than express train fare) from passengers. The passengers feels cheated and are moving towards buses and other modes of transport. Why do we need super fast trains if Indian Railways can't run it efficiently. If this train was to run efficiently, its overall schedule running time can be decreased by half an hour. There are huge set of people especially from Malabar region depending on this train. Lets hope that Indian Railways do something that will benefit the citizens of this democratic nation relying on trains. Jai Hind.
