मैं अकेला ही चला था जानिब-ए-मंज़िल मगर लोग साथ आते गए और कारवाँ बनता गया - Purnesh Upadhyay

So, you expect trains should become more and more slower, highly dependent on stations with heavy traffic, spending hours together at stations for service, competing with other trains for signal at remote stations, respecting older trains, suffering zonal differences, more stoppages and long journey time. That is why IR fails to compete with private bus operators in its operations and our trains are literally slower than local buses and auto rickshaws running through villages.
