Witnessed a really bad controlling by NCR today by allowing a before time running train to overtake an on time running train before 138 km of their destination. The train which was overtaken has it's scheduled arrival 45 minutes before the overtaking train and it could have easily arrived on time if this overtake was avoided. 12801 Puri - New Delhi Purushottam Express was made to halt at ALJN for 10 minutes just to pass before time running 12565 Bihar Sampark Kranti Express which has it's scheduled arrival 45 minutes after Purushottam Express at New Delhi. Later so called 12565 Bihar Sampark Kranti couldn't overtake mail/express trains running ahead and was slowed down which hampered 12801 Purushottam Express schedule as well. This is just a way to make a train delayed and later term it " out of track " train. Very pathetic controlling witnessed today night.

running 12553 Vaishali Express whole night trolled on time 12417 Prayagraj Express and made Prayagraj delayed. and inspite of having +2 halts than prayagraj express in cnb-ndls and obviously running late by 55 minutes Vaishali was yet kept ahead. had this been any other train they would have looped it so early. why so much favoritism for a single zone train ?
