One-hour grueling time for DMU passengers, railway must reschedule its time-table
Ferozepur, October 18, 2019: The passengers boarding DMU trains on Ferozepur-Jalandhar track were subjected to around one hour wait, to get clearance for another train at Mahalam railway station which is 35 km away.
The passengers, mostly the daily commuters are upset about the daily routine of delay. It’s a grueling time for DMU passengers, when the train is delayed for such a long time, to give clearing track for another track,
One of the passenger, talking about a daily feature of the delay of trains said on phone, it is quite ironical on the part of railways talking about achieving the goal of modernization of railways with introduction of Bullet trains when it has not yet been able to set its time-table for run-through of the trains on the tracks to reach timely at its destination.
He said, the railway control should reschedule its time-table in such a way that no train is stopped for such a long time.
Senior Railway official said, the mail trains are given preference over local trains. However, we will look into for minimum time stoppages.
