Many of us are pissed off with Southern Railways. The fast train 12134 got treated like trash, waiting for about 2 hours because the Garib Rath 12201 was a whopping 7 hours late, and then the slowpoke 12620 Matsyagandha Superfast left before it. The latter had to chill for almost 50 minutes. Now, the 12134 will pass the 12620 in Karwar, making it even later. Shouldn't trains that are 7 hours late be taken off the main line and put into sidings to let the on-time ones through? That's why folks in Karnataka want Mangalore out of Southern Railways' control.

Isliye bohot saare log SR se nafrat karte hain. The crack superfast 12134 ko 2 ghante ke liye kutta ki tarah wait karwana padta hai taki 7 ghante late 12201 Garib Rath aake arrive ho sake aur fir crawler (MAJN-MAO section) 12620 Matsyagandha Superfast depart kar sake. Dusra train lagbhag 50 minutes tak wait karna padta hai. Anyway, ab 12134 12620 ko KR mein overtake kar legi, isse aur delay hoga. Kya nahi trains jo 7 ghante late hain unka slot nahi badalna chahiye aur on-time trains ko pass karne ke liye loops mein bhej dena chahiye? Isi wajah se Karnataka ke log SR se Mangalore ki aazadi maang rahe hain.

With, like, a frickin' average delay of at least 5 hours every damn day, we can, like, totally say that our very own Rocket has been completely wrecked. Like, seriously, the Rocket used to be, like, the fav train for railfans because it was fast and always had top priority, but now it's just like any other boring passenger train. I actually rode on it from one end to the other this month and had the worst freakin' experience. If you want speed and being on time, then do not even think about booking MAJN SF. During our journey, it left MAJN an hour late and arrived in Thane a whopping 7 hours behind schedule. We seriously need to retire the name Rocket from MAJN Express. It's so sad to see one of my favorite trains being so severely messed up. Vivek P.S: If anyone knows why the heck they made it so much worse, please share. I complained on Railmadad, but I'm pretty sure no one gives a damn.
