You know the thing is, even if they bring back the old time table it wont do any good. The whole reason is a khicdi that NCR is. Consider this, Vaishali has more stops than PR but is supposed to stay ahead of it always till NDLS. Trains like PR, Shram Shakti which have almost non-stop run from CNB-GZB are supposed to be overtaken by Durontos that cross CNB an hour after their departure. Then comes Poorva which has more stops but has to overtake all of these trains given it departs from after all of them(excluding Duronto). Now all of these trains have a gap of 5-10 minutes and let's agree that we CAN NOT run trains on time. So even if buffer timings for overtake of trains are provided, trains are supposed to depart from CNB in a particular order to let this happen. This is not a realistic...
more... at all. In fact the whole time table of trains crossing Kanpur between 23:00-02:00 is highly unrealistic and non-feasible. Unless stops of trains in this section are revised and the whole time table is refreshed and evenly distributed, NO DFC or change in technical operating staffs can solve the problem. Some trains will enjoy extra priority and some train will continue to suffer and this will happen everyday.
