Had a bad experience in 18182 THE TATA Exp.
Reached Hajipur 25 mins before, and departed 40 mins late. Faced OT of Maurya, Vaishali, Amrapali and Swatantrata Senani in HJP. Faced OT of ADI BJU at Bhagwanpur.
Was...
more... stopped at Kurhani for more than 45 mins for ADI DBG Sabarmati to Overtake it.
At Ramdayalu Nagar, it faced the OT of Purvanchal and re OT of ADI BJU.
At Muzaffarpur, it was nearly 3 hrs late. It continued this trend upto Barauni. Had a good run in night and was less than 2 hrs late at Asansol.
Very slow crawling speed permission was given to it and was nearly stopped before Chandil. Gained speed but again slowed down near Kandra (at 30 kmph nearly) and went on being slow, slow. Stopped at TATA outer for nearly half an hour. Slowly slowly it arrived TATA at 7:55 am, late by 1 hr 30 mins.
Although this train arrives right time (before time too), but I think there was some fault in controlling.
Anyways, the journey went smooth but timings need to be improvised.
!No Overtake Video Alert!
