travelled yesterday in indrayani SF exp from pune to dadar. The train had a great run till lonavala, but after that it slowed down considerably in ghat section. reached kalyan 12 min late. But it got stuck before thane, and dadar stations and reached dadar 30 minutes late apparently due to non availability of PF.
IR should refund the SF charges if it is unable to make the SF trains reach destination on time. Upto 5% deviation may be allowed. Otherwise there is no point in paying extra for SF trains.
The train...
more... was jam packed, and the TTE was not to be seen throughout the journey in reserved coaches.
