#ThePatience
We all know that trains delay in India, they delay a lot. Huge delays like 5-6 hrs have become regular now a days. See attached sample. Now I am not going to the facts like reasons, responsible zones, remedy etc., But I am trying to find how we react to train delays.
It's an irony of fact, but I feel we have somehow become habituated to train delays, as if we have accepted the fact. We talk about legendary punctuality of Japanese trains and admit that it is never going to...

happen in our country. So let's try to find out how our patience have 'improved' (pun intended 😉). Sooo....
**Question: Up to how much delay you are okay with for a M/E or SF or Passenger trains (Including ACSF or SK etc) which has a journey time of more than 18Hrs as per TT?
** Note: Before you vote, please keep following facts in mind:
1) Only consider M/E or SF or Passenger/ FP trains, for premiums trains there will be separate polls
2) Journey time is more than 18Hrs as per TT, for other slots there will be separate polls
3) Consider a normal operational day only, dont consider special situations like fog, loco failure, rail roco, accident/ freight derailment etc.
4) This is a pure psychological and kind of funny poll to judge our patience, not to justify delays; it's always desirable that trains will run in time.
** If you are reading this line after covering the entire above section, then you have outstanding patience and you can tolerate even a delay of 24 Hrs ☺☺
Thanks for voting.

Depends on the route. Like on HWH -NDLS route delay of even 2-3 hrs is OK but same does not apply to other routes like NDLS-BCT, HWH-CST.There more than 1 hr delay is uncommon.
