GolMol answer ie: Blame it on anyone but not on US:
Grievance Description : To, Chairman Railway Board, New Delhi, CC: GM of ECR, NCR, WCR, CR, SER, SR and SWR Sub: Permanent late run of 12577/78 DB-MYS-DBG SF and change of Route/timing of both Sir, We are raising this issue for last many months but sadly speaking that non of any zone or even Railway board is accepting this as issue needs solution. The train was little better when was running as DBG-SBC-DBG but just to make 12295/96 daily and introducing 22351/52 Weekly this train was unnecessarily extended to MYS. And after extension 12578 never came SBC on time (records can be verified), There was no justification for extension as the new train...

was more suitable to run as PPTA-MYS-PPTA or even 12295/96 was more suitable as it occupies SBC yard daily. Now even after extension 12577/78 runs worst than an ordinary train and often runs more than 4 hrs late. It is very sad that instead of making this hugely popular train Bi-weekly Railway Board extended to MYS without any demand and logic. It is really very disappointing that the grievances are always find trash bin at zonal and RB level without showing any genuine intention to address issue. The COM ECR reply was so disappointing when he rudely said that Path not available. It shows what kind of attitude this train is facing even at home zone. With this new grievance we again raising this issue and demand to either: *Change timing of 12577/78 so it arrives early at destinations, *Remove some stoppages as train runs jam packed from source and rarely any booking happens from MYA, KGI, AJJ, OGL, RDM, SGEM, GDYA, PPI, NU and COI. These stops are making train slow and giving no or negligible revenue. *Change via so train can run on shorter and les congested route Ie: BJU-ASN-KGP-BBS-VSKP-BZA or BJU-DHN-RNC-R-NGP-BZA. Needless to say that now ALD/JBP areas have more dedicated trains for Bangalore so this train can be diverted via shorter route to save time and money. We hope that something will be done in new TT so save Train and it's passengers from neglect and punishment. Thank you. attached: Current run status of 12577
Current Status : CASE CLOSED
Date of Action : 30 Jun 2015
Details : Indian Railways make all efforts to run trains on time. However, trains do run late sometimes due to various reasons like miscreant activities, alarm chain pulling, natural calamities such as cyclonic storms or damage to track due to breaches, law and order problems, bad weather, cattle run over and electricity grid failure, equipment failure etc.
