Train no. 14526 (SGNR-UMB intercity express) has a pathetic time table and huge slack. Firstly, there are two crosses b/w SGNR and ABS. As a result, the train takes nearly 1.5 hours to reach ABS. Then it remains idle at BTI station for more than 1 hour. On a whole,. the average speed of this train enroute patiala is in the range of 40 Km/h. If NWR really desires to improve its efficacy, then they should start this train from SGNR at 14:50 hours instead of 13:35 hours as of today. I have been travelling on SGNR-UMB route for more than 20 years but there is hardly any speed increase in any of the express trains including this one. What is the fun in spending tax payers money on electrification and doubling, if the average speed of the train goes on decreasing every year, causing pain to the travellers.
please wait...Translate to HindiTrain no. 14526 (SGNR-UMB intercity express) ka time table lavda lasun hai aur badaa sa time waste hota hai. Pehle toh SGNR aur ABS ke beech mein do crosses hote hain. Isliye, train ABS pahuchne mein lagbhag 1.5 ghante leti hai. Phir BTI station par 1 ghante se zyada bekar bethti rehti hai. Ekdam se, is train ki average speed Patiala raste mein 40 Km/h ke aas-pass hai. Agar NWR sach mein apni effectiveness improve karna chahta hai, toh woh aaj ke bajaye is train ko SGNR se 14:50 baje shuru karna chahiye. Main SGNR-UMB route par 20 saal se safar kar raha hoon lekin kisi bhi express train mein speed mein koi tezi ki kami nahi hai, ismein bhi same scene hai. Electrification aur doubling par tax payers ka paisa kharch karne ka kya majaak hai, agar har saal train ki average speed ghategi ja rahi hai, jo yatriyon ko takleef deti hai.
