The disastrous effects of politics on railways - just a small glimpse...

13287/88 South Bihar Exp was extended to Ara w.e.f. 20/2/24 from both sides. Now see the side effects due to less lieover. At RNCC, due to standardization, it was possible to place the rake in time for departure. Now at Ara, this is not possible. A 30 day running minutes of the train right from its day of extension is shown.
...
more...

Significant highlights-
1. 13288 ARA DURG South Bihar Express departs from Ara delayed by 1:07 hrs on an average
2. 13288 ARA DURG South Bihar Express arrives Durg delayed by 3:43 hrs on an average basis.
3. 13287 DURG ARA South Bihar Express departs Durg delayed by 00:10 hrs only (on an average), this is because significant number of times it departs on time.
4. On an average, 13287 DURG ARA South Bihar Express arrives Ara delayed by 3:15 hrs

This is just one case how railways was destroyed for the sake of satisfying politicians' ego.

Note: Errors of plus or minus two minutes may be there. Data was collected through NTES and WIMT.

On observing the deteriorating condition of 13288/87 due to biased extension till Ara, I propose following solutions:

1) Reverting back the Og train to RJPB n running new train from ARA to Durg via DDU, PCOI, STA, KTE, APR, USL n R.

2)...
more...
The og train would go Ara only on weekends and RJPB for weekdays

3) Demand for clone train for the same above.

Bcoz all of the arguments and debates above, it's the lifeline of people of Chhatisgarh n Odisha.
