Late running of Rajdhani/Duranto
For past four days all trains originating from Howrah/Sealdah and New Delhi/Delhi JN(going to Hwh/Kolkata/Sealdah) including Rajdhani/Duranto are running late by 3 to 5 hours. I travelled in 1st AC in 12314 Sealdah Rajdhani Coupe C lower berth on 23rd June. Train started on right time at 16.25 but became late by 1.25hrs upto CNB(Kanpur). Reached Sealdah 2.45hrs late. Today's Howrah Rajdhani is running late by 3.25 hrs and Sealdah Rajdhani by 4.30hrs. Problem lies between NDLS-CNB-Allahabad section. What is the railway doing about the inordinate delays in prestigious trains like Rajdhani/Duranto. Passengers should be refunded fares for delayed hours calculated on the basis of total fare minus catering divided by scheduled running hours multiplied with late hours.
