Will the Railway Ministry show its sports man spirit by giving an explanation on the inordinate delay of the Howrah - New Delhi Duronto Express No.12273, as detailed by Mr. Naba Kumar Adhikari and detail its proposals of compensation for the passengers who were made to suffer innumerably by leaving them on the ND platforms in the mid-night? If the ministry is unable to come out with satisfactory compensation plan, it has no morale right to ask for such inputs from the passengers. more

I have Travelled with my Wife and my grand daughter 4yrs on 27.10.17 by Howrah New Delhi Duronto Exp TRain No 12273- PNR No 6107258999. 2A Coach noAE-1 berth 2 & 5, most bitter experience, it reaches NDLS at 16.00 hrs which is 8 hours late incredible, we were not informed by any of the IR staff why it is late, there was no AS available on the coach, latar we came to know or rather it was rumoured that the Engine breakdown, food not served properly, catering staff`s behaviour was worst of its kind, Many people could not avail the onward trains from New Delhi, Ministry only conveyed "SORRY for inconvenience" Question: who is responsible for this, whether Passengers shall be informed later what was the exact reason of such negligence, Who will compensate the loss suffered by me or other passengers like me, How do Ministry of Railway quantify the sufferings of Passengers for such incredible Delay of Running such premier Trains with Dynamic fare, Is there any mechanism to compensate such passengers of late running trains at the cost of IR Employees, if not it is suggested to introduce immediately, In fact the maintenance in charge of Tikiapara Rail Workshop must be suspended till the time enquiry is going on, why not, Whether this shall be forwarded to concerned if so please confirm more

I travel to work by the Mumbai Central Railway suburban trains every day, I find that invariably the trains are 10 to 20 minutes late every day adding to the delay some trains are cancelled without mentioning any reason whatsoever, only announcement of regret. I sincerely feel that because there is no commitment to essential services which is marred by unions, the hapless traveler has to face the brunt for which he is not responsible. Secondly Trains on the central line have very weird time table there are two Thane trains in-between one long distance train, where as people up to Thane travel by all trains irrespective of providing them two Thane trains, this should change and there should be one Thane train and one long distance train one after another which will ease the crowd to a large extent, and if they are in time then it will be icing on the cake, provided the Railway ministry is prepared to look into it. more

Was traveling in Karnataka Sampark kranti from Pune to Yeswantpur(22 Oct 2017), The food price was inflated, The Veg Thali meal they are charging 92 when i asked why the difference the supplier tolds: sir this one is different and having more quantity and having extra item whereas there are nothing extra. Also the Chai they are supplying charged 15 by telling the name of Bal Bakri chai with different taste and 2 piece of Samosa 22 - Don't know why double standard there and first of all there is no one to check the food weight and accuracy. Also no body to control all the inflated prices. more

Coach attendants do not provide hand towel in bedding. Pantry coaches do not serve Rail NEER and charge more rates than prescribed by IRCTC e.g. Veg meal is charged Rs 90/- while IRCTC rate list Rs50/-. more
