yesterday night many trains going towards Mgs were running on time/minimum delay. This goes to show that if Rajdhani were not plying on this route, then it would have been the best route. The main problem of congestion in this route are the Rajdhani type trains. the sole reason is that almost all trains are looped for Rajdhani to pass, even though their timings are ahead of Rajdhani.
Trains like North East, Seemanchal, Pune-patna, Ltt Rjpb SF etc which have their schedule of passing Mgs before Rajdhani they are halted and get overtaken even if they are 30-45 mins late, which creates congestion for other trains coming from behind and have their timings after Rajdhani. Then comes some trains which are...
more... scheduled to be overtaken after Ald. Get overtaken before Ald and then clash with other trains, which becomes a cause of congestion as trains get lined up at Ald and Mgs respectively
