Public Grievance for slow time table of 03272
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kindly refer to the attached screenshot, 03272 does not halt at Gokul Nagar, Naika Road and Kamta Halt, still take 67 minutes, while 03238 has these 3 more halts, but surprisingly take only 50 minutes for the same Fatuha - Hilsa section. Why so?

Kindly...

note there is no opposite direction train movement scheduled while both these trains operate.

Sir, Could you please tell us why a MEMU 03238 with more no. of halts compared to MEMU 03272 taking less time for travel between FUT and HIL?
Who has designed this pathetic slow time table for 03272? Is it becuase in the dark night the loco pilots don't find good visiblity?

Engineering and traffic allowance excuse won't work here because that is usually given at the last leg of journey. Also, as there is no passenger train movement in UP/DOWN direction on this FUT - HIL section between 20:00 to 22:00 hours, other than 03272, you won't find any reason why it will take this 17 minutes extra, isn't it?
