Hello friends!!!
I just thought to raise a small topic I have noticed over the last couple of months.
As the tag suggests, my concern is regarding the late running of not only this train but also every train passing through the Bilaspur-Jharsuguda-Tatanagar stretch is getting late.
Since I haven't travelled this route earlier, I don't have much idea. So thought to ask you
...

the matter.
What's going on there? Yesterday 12261 reached BSP 20 mins late. But entered TATA being almost 2.5 hrs delayed (As of now it is about to reach Howrah, delayed by 4.5 hrs!!!). On further looking, I found out that the delay is mainly accumulated at SER territory i.e., after leaving Jharsuguda. Every day all the trains passing through this stretch are getting tremendously late especially after JHS. Further, they are getting even more delayed after leaving KGP. The same is happening for several months and still no rectification measures have been taken place. Is the delay attributed to the laxity and poor control on the part of SER? Or anything else?
I have to go to Belapur on 19th Dec by flight for some official work and have planned to return by 12261 on 24th. Office was ready to give flight for my return journey too, but like others, being a railfan it is difficult for me to refrain from train journey. Now looking at the running history, I am quite afraid that it may reach Howrah at 26th midnight and I have to rush office without taking rest.

Never take Thursday departing CSMT-HWH Duronto, Thursdays would have extra ordinary delays !!! Next highest delays are for Wednesday departures.
