7th October evening this train departed at 2055 hrs (1 hr 35 min. late). I could see that less than 25 people were on board, out of which 3-4 were in the loco and 2-4 in the EOGs and others (the passengers) were there in a single coach only. Rest of the train was full empty with lights and ACs ON.
Due to poorly made time-table, always running late from 30 min. to 2 hrs. people are not at all liking this train...
God knows who in the IR decided this train between...
more... INDB-BPL-HBJ and to have so many stoppages en-route so that the train reaches end to end in more than 4 hours.
If all the stoppages are removed between Maksi and BPL/HBJ, the train could easily reach end to end in less than 3.5 hrs...
Feeling sad to accept that this is going to be one of the worst performing WE of Indian Rail.
