The Trains Are Always Late

A man was complaining to a railroad engineer.

What's the use of having a train schedule if the trains are always late.

The railroad engineer replied.

How would we know they were late, if we didn't have a schedule?

That is true. Most of the trains were late..... We cannot control on Trains..... Only some premium train run on right time. When ever I have to travel on Train. I see running status of my Train. It makes easier for me......

The cause of late happening due to converting the express trains as super fast trains and not increasing the speed of the train. Train should wait for signal to arrive at the right time. Who is doing that work?. Sometimes train get late due to weather conditions.

Yes, due to present of various train on limited route make difference. Importance is given to super fast train over express train... Rajdhani is prefered over super fast train....

:whistle: :whistle: Better late than never- seems the motto of late running of trains.

:whistle: :whistle: Better late than never- seems the motto of late running of trains.

And the Railways know That we have no alternative but to use Railways even though they run late. This is also perhaps the motto of Railways.

Signals and speed are the cause of delaying the train for the arrival.

For short journey, like Agra to Delhi, late running does not really matter. I shall reach railway station at my convenience. I shall get in any train available at that time- early, timely or late- whatever. Moreover many passengers reach station late by their very nature. Then late running of train is boon to them.

Railway is a huge network. No train wants to come late until there is a reason for that. We are only talking it from our point of view; we also consider the train driver situation. Some drivers are not getting leave and others doing their work without sleep. They never take care about them self and save the passengers life all the time.

Or what is the use of waiting rooms, will they feed the cows there? ;)

sir, waiting rooms are also used when trains are in time. Passenger can arrive some time before train schedule and wait.

In many araes there is a single track due to which time is lost in crossings with incoming trains. Also there is movement of freight trains which are alos given preferences many times. My city is on a double track area and most of trains are on time.

I agree with your point. In some city's single track to double track conversion and meter gauge to broad gauge conversion is going on. This also an issue for train delay.

Indian railways cannot charge the fare at which they can give excellent services and make good profit because of political and social reasons. Politicians have used it to further their interests by forcing it to take many uneconomical decisions. Passengers have no sense of hygiene either on stations or inside trains. Yet railways is up and running. We are very caustic in our comments. We should appreciate that in spite of constraints many a public utility runs in India . as some one very nicely said Better late than never.

Service provided by Indian railway is very low grade. Every time they increase fare by telling that railway is in loss.... But I tell from where railway is in loss. Every day train is full... Even passenger become double in peak season...

In lalu prasad yadav period the railway gets profits. He made several changes in goods trains it yielded a good profit for Indian railways. I also did not understand why the railway should get to lose if people are daily traveling in that. First TTR should come and check whether people without ticket traveling in the train.TTR comfortably sitting in the AC Coaches.

Railway is in loss as they are not charging passengers according to market rate. I read a member above who has given the proper reason. So let's stop this joke here. The thread is closed as there is nothing left to discuss now.
