So here's the deal, the train was supposed to leave at 6:15 am, but guess what? It got rescheduled not once, not twice, but five freaking times! Finally, it left for Tirupati at 12:15 pm. Talk about a major inconvenience, right?
According to some South Central Railway official spokesperson, the delay happened because of some technical issue with the train's spring foil. Like, seriously? I mean, couldn't they have figured this out in advance?
Now, get this, the Vande Bharat Express is gonna reach Tirupati at 8 pm. And get this, the same train that was supposed to depart from Tirupati at 3:15 pm will now only start for Secunderabad at 8:15 pm. Man, the whole schedule got messed up because of this delay.
But hey, what can you do? Shit happens, right? Just hope they can get their act together next time and not keep us waiting like this.
