Hello everyone. I am posting this query as an extremely concerned citizen and railfan. For the past few days, I have been observing that several trains including the premier trains like Rajdhani and Duronto are facing some problems and getting excessively delayed in the Kanpur-Allahabad section. Even today, I travelled by BBS Rajdhani 22823 and I found it was standing somewhere near Sirathu station (in that MGS-Allahabad-Kanpur route) late at night for nearly 1.5 hours. I initially thought maybe there was some problem with the train engine or something but to my shock I later discovered that the other Rajdhanis and Durontos of this track have also been facing the same plight for past few days and getting delayed by 2-3 hours and worse, many non-premium trains have got delayed by as many as 7-8 hours.... Could someone please give some idea of what exactly is creating these abnormal delays...
more...
in this particular route? Is this track so congested that it is becoming difficult to pass even premium trains through this route and is this some temporary issue?
I just ask out of sheer curiosity as a railfan....

There is some track up-gradation processs may be DFC construction.
Count yourself lucky to be in most VIP train as other non Rajdhani have undergone a more severe delays.

I understand that. But, even Rajdhanis, especially those in East India route are nowadays running well below what can be called as "VIP" standards. Because, real VIP trains cannot be delayed for more than an hour or so.

This is rule for other zones..
In NCR tracks r so congested that it may happen to any primier trains ..
Also its for non valid reasons..
If some valid reason is there then any train can be detained to any station ..for passengers safety.
