SER is a totally lost cause now.
I have a feeling this train is deliberately being targetted since it serves a quite remote area post TATA.
Areas such as Chaibasa and Bara Jamdi are totally dependent on this train, if you exclude the Tata bound passengers. Absolutely shambolic behavior by SER.
Everyday this scene unfolds at Howrah in the morning and angry passengers are

denied information at the enquiry centres.
Just imagine the plight of the return trip passengers who will reach Howrah late at night, that too in a optimistic scenario unfolding.
Absolutely disgusting!

For the complaint lodged in Rail Madad for delay of this train on date - 07/05/2024, they have replied - We acknowledge with thanks inconvenience is highly regretted.the matter is informed to cencerrned authority for necessary action.

I had told earlier that this train is deliberately being targeted as it runs into backward areas. Passengers must quit traveling by this train. Daily hundreds of complaints must be lodged against this train in PG Portal, Rail Madad, etc. and if possible case should be registered in Court.

Gondia Raigarh jan shatabdi used to continously run delayed by 4-5 hrs for around 1.5 years.
Now a days delay has reduced.

I had lodged complaint in Rail Madad for the late running of this train on date - 04/05/2024 as I had ticket for that date. They immediately closed the complaint with the following remarks - "Inconvenience is highly regretted. The train got delayed due to yard congestion at Howrah. However, all efforts are being made to run the train on time and reduce detention as much as possible. Indian Railway attempts to reach you safely and timely. Your precious time as well as feedback is valuable to us."

Got to know this from my father, on 24.4.24 enquiry counter officials were saying 12021 Janshatabdi will depart but don't know when. This was happening repeatedly and people lost their cool. They broke the window panes. RPF had to come to the spot. This has become a daily affair for 12021/22, arrive late, depart late. Can't they just cancel one run and make it on time? And make it run very close to the schedule (if not exactly on the schedule) everyday? Oh sorry, obviously freight is the lifeline of SER, passenger trains are not at all important.

Incompetence will lead to such issues.

Correct. But why is SER targeting only train no. 12021/12022? Is it because it runs to West Singhbhum which is a backward area?

HWH, SHM, SRC and KGP division are not serious on arrival of any train. Any train running on time gets always delayed before coming to HWH. Delhi Division(NR) has improved a lot (even though loads of arrival) but don't understand about SER.

This train has been rescheduled again today on date 03/05/2024 by 1 hr 40 mins, while Ispat Express is running right time. Passengers must stop travelling by this train. I myself have stopped travelling by this train since the last few months. Tata - Gua passenger is better to travel from Tata upto Bara Jamda. Takes 1 third to 1 fifth fare as compared to this Jan Shatabdi Express and generally remains only 30 mins to 1 Hr late, while this Jan Shatabdi Express is almost always 2 to 4 hours late. This might be the most late travelling Jan Shatabdi Express in India now. This train has become a disgrace in the name of Jan Shatabdi Express now.

What more can I say Piyush, SER & SECR as respective zones are least concerned with the plight and state of the passengers!
There is only so much inconvenience that the general public can and will endure. Beyond that their will be serious repercussions.
The present regime has become absolutely arrogant and put a no good Yes-man incharge of the MOR. A regime change is needed so that a fresh perspective is laid out to the general public

More or less, SECR has minimized its activities. If after NGP, a train becomes 1 hr late, max to max it gets 2 hrs late at JSG outers. I have myself experienced this 2 times. After JSG till Rourkela it is worse than pathetic conditions.

My father already uses two another alternatives many a times but it takes more time.

the train directly from Maurigram (where he resides, while in Howrah), 38809 HWH MDN Local and from there 08071 KGP TATA Passenger

2. Black Diamond from Howrah to Dhanbad and then from Dhanbad to Jamshedpur, a bus which stops directly in front of my house.

Rolling Blocks hammered the final nail to the already congested sections. Crews are having very hard time differentiating between TSRs and PSRs, now that they are active every 10-15 kms.
I ain't against these blocks. Infact, they have been the best proven method till date to swiftly ensure track maintenance and upgradation. Inter departmental coordinations are all time high. What should have been included is the reduction or ignorance of any loading target for zones during the period. That way profitable zones won't be forced to balance their sheets and therefore could've ensured passenger train punctuality. SER aka 'Passenger Unfriendly Zone' wasn't a slacky or sloppy type ever in past. It always operated passenger trains with aggression.
