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!!!)
