Rolling Blocks hammered the final nail to the already congested sections. Crews are having very hard time differentiating between TSRs and PSRs, now that they are active every 10-15 kms.
I ain't against these blocks. Infact, they have been the best proven method till date to swiftly ensure track maintenance and upgradation. Inter departmental coordinations are all time high. What should have been included is the reduction or ignorance of any loading target for zones during the period. That way profitable zones won't be forced to balance their sheets and therefore could've ensured passenger train punctuality. SER aka 'Passenger Unfriendly Zone' wasn't a slacky or sloppy type ever in past. It always operated passenger trains with aggression.
Now...
more... you never know your deboarding time even when your journey length is short 50 odd kilometres. Ours' over the time research based on deep knowledge of our commuting trains, their pattern of PM/SM, sectional controlling etc. are being pushed beyond limits.
please wait...Translate to EnglishRolling Blocks messed up even more the already jam-packed areas. Crews are struggling hard telling TSRs and PSRs apart with them being active every 10-15 kms.
I ain't against these blocks. Actually, they've been the most effective way so far to quickly make sure that the tracks are maintained and upgraded. Inter-departmental coordination is at an all-time high. What they should've done is to get rid of any loading targets for zones during this time. That way, profitable zones wouldn't have to worry about balancing their books and could've made sure passenger trains run on time. SER aka 'Passenger Unfriendly Zone' was always on top of its game. It always ran passenger trains with full force.
Now, you never know when you'll reach your destination even on a short trip of 50 odd kms. Our research over time based on a deep understanding of our commuting trains, their schedule, who's in charge of which section, etc. is being stretched to its limit.
