This train has been rescheduled again today on date 03/05/2024 by 1 hr 40 mins, while Ispat Express is running right time. Passengers must stop travelling by this train. I myself have stopped travelling by this train since the last few months. Tata - Gua passenger is better to travel from Tata upto Bara Jamda. Takes 1 third to 1 fifth fare as compared to this Jan Shatabdi Express and generally remains only 30 mins to 1 Hr late, while this Jan Shatabdi Express is almost always 2 to 4 hours late. This might be the most late travelling Jan Shatabdi Express in India now. This train has become a disgrace in the name of Jan Shatabdi Express now.

12021/22 must be permanently diverted to run as BBN-CBSA-KND(for TATA)-Chandil-BBM-PRR-JOC-ASN-DGR-BWN route with stops at KND-BBM-PRR-JOC-ASN & DGR. I think al HWH-CKP trains via TATA must be permanently made to run via ASN-PRR-KND Line. TATA must b compensated by giving Tatanagar dedicate trains to Mumbai, Ahmedabad & Pune.

If it's the reason( which, I don't think is), this train could be short terminated at TATA itself. Have a link train between TATA - BBN and back.

As per my understanding, SER/CKP division's hostility towards Passenger services has to be blamed.

Got to know this from my father, on 24.4.24 enquiry counter officials were saying 12021 Janshatabdi will depart but don't know when. This was happening repeatedly and people lost their cool. They broke the window panes. RPF had to come to the spot. This has become a daily affair for 12021/22, arrive late, depart late. Can't they just cancel one run and make it on time? And make it run very close to the schedule (if not exactly on the schedule) everyday? Oh sorry, obviously freight is the lifeline of SER, passenger trains are not at all important.

Today on date 30/04/2024 again Howrah - Barbil Janshatabdi Express is running late by more than 3 hours while Ispat Express is running nearly right time. Railway is making joke of the whole Rajkharsawan - Barbil Section. The booking counters of all the stations Howrah, Kharagpur, Jhargram, Ghatshila, Tatanagar, Chaibasa, Dangoaposi, Noamundi, Bara Jamda and Barbil should be broken by public. One more area where railways is showing its arbitrary nature is in not opening some level crossings continuously for 4-5 hours and letting trains pass continuously one after one. One such level crossing is the first one when going from Dangoaposi towards Padapahar. Public should uproot and throw away all such level crossings by using JCB.

Seems that Howrah Junction is unable to handle the traffic of trains after the introduction of Vande Bharat Expresses.

Incompetence will lead to such issues.
Stations with well optimised Operations can handle large traffic efficiently.
Surat being the prime example handling passing as well as Originating Trains with limited platforms and incredible rush throughout.
Kalyan, Mathura, Ghaziabad all handle multiple profiles of trains ranging from Premium Vande Bharat to MEMU etc.

Re# 6044231-22              
Correct. But why is SER targeting only train no. 12021/12022? Is it because it runs to West Singhbhum which is a backward area?

It has become daily affair for this train to run late from Howrah to Barbil, while Ispat express runs more timely then this train. At one time this train (Train no. 12021/12022) had highest priority after Rajdhani Express, Duronto Express and Shatabdi Express. Now all that has gone down the drain. Since last 8 years, while travelling from Ranchi to Dangoaposi, I always used to go to Chaibasa from Ranchi by bus and then I caught this Janshatabdi Express from Chaibasa to Dangoaposi. Twice, I also caught Ranchi - Howrah Vande Bharat Express and went to Tata from Ranchi. From Tata to Dangoaposi, I used to catch this Janshatabdi Express. Since the last few months, due to the irregularity of this Janshatabdi Express, I am going to Chaibasa from Ranchi by early morning 1st bus and then catching Tata - Gua Passenger train from Chaibasa. Fare of Tata - Gua...

passenger train is 1/5th compared to the Janshatabdi Express from Chaibasa to Dangoaposi and it also runs far more timely compared the Janshatabdi Express. Pay less fare and reach destination early with better timings.

While going from Howrah to Barbil, this train is usually getting 2 hours late, while Ispat express (Howrah - Titlagarh/Kantabanji Express) whose scheduled arrival at Tatanagar is 28 minutes after this train, reaches Tatanagar before this train. How does this happen? Does this train stand in loop line and allows Ispat express to overtake it?
