Re# 34620-1              
Reason:
1. Low Priority
2. RSA - Rake Sharing Arrangement: Has to wait & get late!!!!
3. Rush Clearance holds high not persisting schedule!!!

Its not only special train dear...... sometimes regular superfast trains also get trapped in this.. Take example of 2142 Rajendranagar Express or Lichhavi Express.

2142 irony
- 3 Rakes for the approx same run as of Pune-Patna Exp (4 Rakes)
- 6 Hours stoppage @ PNBE (late recovery isnt possible), while Pune-PNBE halts 18 hrs
- Train till BSB manages with 3 rake, while PNBE pose extra 7-9 hrs (up+dn) load
2142
...
more...
Solution
- 1 Rake if late from PNBE, cant make up
- 4 Rake or RSA provision
Lichhavi Irony
- SAMASTIPUR-SIWAN-BHATNI is highly conjested route.
- Normally the train is late upto 3 hrs in BSB.
- 3.5 hrs late in ALD
- Prayagraj has already departed (whose time is prior Lichavi)
- Shivganga overtakes @ ALD
- Covers a bit till CNB
- Rajdhani overtakes making it ARR 7-8 hrs late @ NDLS.
Lichavi Solution
- If its @ time @ Bhatni, its @ time @ NDLS
- Doubling SIVAN-Bhatni Route (In-Progress)

Its the same story of regular train being late!!!
But SPL do have priority issue, Rake/Coach availability issue, Maintenance Issue & mostly terminating station ARR & DEP as source station difference is too low, to cool dow its in-time departue (if it arrived late!!!)
