All General Coaches of this train have been moved to the last side of this train when traveling from Visakhapatnam to Tatanagar. This has caused a lot of confusion among passengers traveling by General Coaches. When this train is about to arrive, passengers are unable to know whether General Coaches will be in the front side or at the last side. Even the station staff are unable to provide accurate information regarding this matter on the spot. There are several stoppages of this train, where the platform length is short and unable to accommodate the full train. In such cases, all General Coaches remain out of platform. So, those passengers who know the placement of General Coaches are also unable to climb into them. Hence all passengers taking General tickets are compelled to travel in the Sleeper Coaches. General coaches should be at both ends of the trains and their number...

should be equally distributed between both ends of the trains like before. This solves both the confusion of their placement in the train and also the problem of short platform of stations. God knows whose idea has been implemented of shifting all General Coaches to one side of the train and why.

Yesterday this train was having 200+ berths vacant in 3AC class. And as usual delayed by +3 hrs. This train demand is decreasing due to delay, and day time scheduled run. Why no one is accountable, and not taking any action.

Re# 6077626-18              
You mean to say that this train should be taken by SER. You are absolutely right, but for current situation this TT is fine I think, simply if departing it with extra time can help this train to recover some delays. Well I am also planning a TT of 20816 as well. I will share its link on this post.

VSKP - TATA Express is running behind BBN - TATA Passenger and TATA - VSKP Express is running behind TATA - GUA MEMU Passenger. At least TATA - VSKP Express should leave TATA before TATA - GUA MEMU Passenger, if it cannot reach TATA before BBN - TATA Passenger.

In the return direction 13352-Allp-Dhn and 18190 ERS-Tata almost run one behind the other right from ERS till ROU with just 2 hrs difference....I think they can try the same in onward direction as well. Old TT of Tata-Allp, it used to reach Rourkela at 18:15. DHN-Allp is reaching around 7:45pm. There is a diff of 1.5 hrs. No harm in trying this option.

Very important train, but poor run. It is important on social levels but not commercially. Is it a loss making train?( Please don't think I am disgracing this train, I am just simply asking questions)

Last week reached 6 hrs late to VSKP. Just waste of time. It's always 3-4 hrs delayed. How you expect such train to get filled?

Earlier there is such TT. But ECoR spoiled by allowing at day time. Hope they change it back. Today's trains also from vskp delayed 3 hrs.

Several trains passing through various stations in the Chakradharpur railway division are consistently running late. Due to this, the railway department is rescheduling trains daily, causing significant inconvenience to passengers. The situation is particularly frustrating during the scorching summer heat. Despite the growing frustration among passengers, the railway authorities haven't taken...

any concrete steps to address the persistent delays. On Monday, the 22857 Santragachi-Anand Vihar Express was rescheduled by two hours, the 22839 Rourkela-Bhubaneswar Intercity by four hours, the 20815 Tata-Visakhapatnam Express by one and a half hours, and the 22840 Bhubaneswar-Rourkela by almost five hours. Many other trains passing through Chakradharpur division were also rescheduled. Passengers are expressing their dissatisfaction with the frequent delays and reschedulings.

Chakradharpur railway division ke alag-alag stations se jaane wali bahut saari trains continuously late chal rahi hain. Is wajah se, railway department har din trains ko reschedule kar raha hai, jisse passengers ko bahut pareshani ho rahi hai. Garmi ka mausam hone ki wajah se, late trains aur reschedule karne se...

passengers ko double pareshani ho rahi hai. Lekin railway department trains ke late chalne ko theek karne ke liye koi concrete kadam nahi utha raha hai. Is wajah se, logo mein narazgi dekhi ja rahi hai. Somvaar ko 22857 Santragachi-Anand Vihar Express ko do ghante, 22839 Rourkela-Bhubaneswar Intercity ko char ghante, 20815 Tata-Visakhapatnam Express ko dedh ghante, aur 22840 Bhubaneswar-Rourkela ko paanch ghante ke karib reschedule kiya gaya hai. Chakradharpur division ke alag-alag stations se jaane wali aur bhi bahut saari trains ko reschedule kiya gaya hai. Trains ke continuously late chalne aur reschedule hone se, passengers mein narazgi dekhi ja rahi hai.
