Nice pic.
The freight issue is only in SECR. 12860 yesterday, for example, passed JSG 5 minutes late. It was over 4 hours late by the time it reached Nagpur.
Here is the...
more... state of affairs using 12860 run yesterday:
HWH - JSG (SER): 516 km, scheduled run time 7 hours, 48 minutes (actual 7:44, average speed 67 kmph), delay: 5 minutes
JSG - NGP (SECR): 615 km, scheduled run time 9:45 (average speed 63). Actual: 13:44 (average speed 45 kmph)
Because of pathetic state of management in SECR, the train won't reach Mumbai until after 1 am. I feel bad for passengers (but clearly, the bean counters running SECR couldn't care less). Indian railways is still charging premium/super fast premiums even with bad average speed (much less inconvenience).
