Kaisa laga video? ❤️

I've been working in Railways for 4 years. This video is very close to the truth. But there are many more factors related to this. I was a Loco pilot before. The biggest problem is related to the personnel. The toxic work culture effects every level of the employees. Drm ridicules the officers below him and officer berates the lower level workers. There are no managers in Indian Railways, there are 'sahibs' in railways. The British culture is still prevalent. No matter what Ashwini Vaishnaw says, the sahib culture is not going away. I urge the public take more interest in your Railways. Otherwise the accidents like that in Bilaspur will happen more frequently.

This guy is so underrated that even spammers don't comment in his comment section

Well, I am ex-railway personnel and have worked on increasing the speed on the track. In the past few years, railways have been working at a rapid pace, and we were able to raise the speed in my section from 90 to 110 Kmph in two years. The inter-railway rivalry is actually a big problem, the TSR and PSR are going to exist as day-to-day work is very complex and requires a lot of autonomy at lower levels too but many people are against it.

Slack time is a big issue, Railway is not updating the time tables of the trains which are running on double line route after upgradation from single line route. For example 22687 MYS-BSB SF Express it is having a lot of slack time between Daund Junction and Manmad junction covering 237 kilometres at an average speed of 38.959 kmph in 6 hours and 5 minutes.This train is also the victim of Inter Division Rivalry as it never reaches it's destination (Varanasi) on time.

The mindset of us Indian people is far more responsible for our condition.

As a RailFan i can confirm every information is authentic and upto the mark 👏👏

Ashwini Vaishnav is one of the best Railway minister we have got in Indian History, he is not just IITian or IAS officer but also Wharton MBA, and am sure his work will show results in few years, we gotta be patient

Jab tak desh main quota hai and "Government job hai " ka attitude hai , we will always be under performing. Just see the immense cleaning change as it done by private firms.

As a rail enthusiast, must say this is a really well researched and aptly put together content.

Fault is ours too. We (looking at you kejriwal fans) vote politicians who give freebies/ subsidies for everything rather than seeing what the party has done for long term development. Thus it makes it easy for such parties to know what to focus on.

A new railway route is announced in our area covering 109 kilometres. 3 new railway bridges are being built. I didn't understand why it was taking so long now I understood how massive the issue is

This video was awesome! I loved how you explained everything in a clear and engaging way. You have a great sense of humor and a lot of knowledge on the topic. I learned a lot from watching this and I can't wait to see more of your content. Keep up the good work!

The problem is even in 2023, we're still trying to upgrade our Mainlines like Howrah - Chennai, Chennai - Mumbai, Chennai - Bangalore, etc. to 130 kmph... Other important routes like Ahmedabad - Jaipur - Delhi, Delhi - Moradabad - Lucknow, Lucknow - Gorakhpur - Chhapra, Varanasi - Kathihar - NJP - Guwahati, Secunderabad - Wadi, etc. can only achieve 110 kmph... Routes like Howrah - Mumbai and Delhi - Chennai is considered"Class A" line on paper that can handle 160 kmph but in reality trains run at 130 kmph maximum and 110 kmph in some sections... Only Delhi - Mumbai and Kolkata - Delhi routes are being upgraded to 160 kmph while as of April 2023 only Delhi - Agra section can handle 160 kmph top speed...

In bihar, the timetable is even worse, 15528 kamla ganga intercity takes 10 hours, 50 min to cover 266km with an average speed of 25km/hr.

I am Indian and living in China since last 4yrs and travelling in trains almost every second week. And to be surprise for all Indians … I have faced only 1 time that my train was late and it was 15min and talking about speed … you have screen in every coach where you can see the speed and I have never seen any trains going below 160km/hr unless it’s stoppage. And average speed they maintain is around 205km/hr. Now people think that it might be too costly to travel in a bullet train, then one more thing to be surprise of… a nearby city which around 80km cost me 18rmb which is roughly around 200rs. From Shanghai to Qingdao, a distance of 730km(Delhi to Varanasi) will cost you 300rmb equals to 3500 INR and it will take only 4-5hrs.

NCR zone(North Central Railway) which is headquarted at prayagraj, has the avg speed of 102 km/h which is highest in india. Its the same delhi-howrah route, busiest in india...but still fastest✊

Lalu Prasad Yadav was a curse to Indian railways🙏🙏

Metro - different track. RRTS - Different track. Bullet train - Different track. Maal gadi - Different track. Regular Training - Different track. Aur sbko chalane k liye AI ( ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE) aur inskbe upar. Ek alagse management team. ( Jo responsable ho train k liye). Aur ek RND team. Tabhi Indian rail international platform m takkar de sakegi. N mujhe aesa hote hue dikhrha hai. Jai hind

Bhai I work as a section controller in ECR and the biggest reason behind loss in punctuality is the sudden surge of Goods trains. We face pressure from officers who overlook goods traffic to run freight trains ahead of express trains because of economical gain from freight trains as a result of which Mail/Express trains stop at every station and lose punctuality. We even give goods train precedence over MEMU trains

Glad you mentioned the point of poor infrastructure. Also the railways are hyping electrification as the next big thing and it will increase the speed by miles, but in reality, they should first focus on upgrading the tracks. there are many section in our Indian railways where electrification had no effect in speed increase just because the tracs themselves do not support high speed. Also the railways should look upon the interzonal politics as well. Many time I have seen train standing outside zonal interchange stations even though platforms are available to take those. this then increase the delays and also the passengers then won't get much time to even buy basic essentials from the station like water and food as the train has to depart as soon as possible in these cases. Plus Railways now days are blindly bringing out trains like Vande Bharat and also reducing the sleeper class coaches without thinking any thing. They don't realize that still majority of our population cannot afford anything more than the sleeper class. Wish they think about this as well

And in one of the shots, you saw Rahul Gandhi saying Bullet train kabhi nahin ban ne wala.. That just shows you the mentality of our oldest party. And regarding the inconsistent slack time, I have an even better example. Rourkela - Bhubaneswar Intercity train; while going from Rourkela to Bhubaneswar, it takes 1.5 hours to cross the Dhenkanal - Bhubaneswar section of just 60 kms, but while coming back, it takes 60 mins to cross the same section. I have noticed it in some other trains as well.

Same thing happened to sampark kranti. Sampark kranti trains has less stoppages than super fast trains except rajdhani. But if you calculate its average speed it is lower than expected.

Watching this video while traveling in a train which was 1.5Hrs delayed 😅

I am watching this video in train patna to Jammu which is 4 hour late 😂😂😂

as a station master, must say that most points were touched upon, while you missed some, unmanned level crossings, wildlife crossings, which more often than not cause a major dent to average speed.. and also incompetent staff, getting jobs through compensation grounds etcetra😅😅

One of the reason that is not widely discussed is that IR had shortage of railway lines , due to which congestion in peak hours occur around the station where traffic remains high during peak hour , like varanasi, kanpur line , we tend to increase the no. of train but always remain behind in the no. of Railway Line

Subscribed. Impressed with your in-depth analysis and content. Keep up the good work 👍

Commenting for better reach/engagement. This is a great video that actually talks about ground reality of Indian Railways, which has become a victim of politics. The average speed, ground reality condition of train rakes and whopping 5-6 hrs delays needs to be portrayed before the world which would atleast bring some shame on the government and they would start improvements ASAP.

Hi Sir, Bullet Train Line Update. INDIA : 500Kms Pending.. CHINA : 38000+ Kms Operational & Functional.

During UPA regime railway budget only meant announcement of new trains whereas now the govt is focussing on safety, infra, etc.

Great research. The things you talked about I have felt myself being a frequent train traveller. Many times i have to wait for a train that would be an hour late or even more. The passengers travelling to intermediate stations never reach on time as u mentioned the cleverness of railways of alloting slack time. All of this needs to be immediately improved. This can cause great convenience to people.

idk why youtube suggested me this video after the odisha train crash where both the trains were at the speed of 126 kmph and 128 kmph 😔😔😟🥺🥺😭😭😢

I recently went on a train ride from Delhi to Ludhiana on my trip to India. Unfortunately, the only view I could see outside was of either rubbish/trash or farms. Moreover, as u mentioned, the trains are nowhere near as quick as in other countries. India has got to take some serious steps to fix its infrastructure and waste disposal/management system if it wants to gain the respect of Western countries and/or compete with China.I'm jst saying this as a person of Indian origin who wants India and Indians to be respected outside of India as well and the image of India overseas to change. I mean if China can do it, then why can't we?

illegal chain pulling is also one of the reasons why trains get slowed down and that cascades down to the other trains behind as well , as the tracks are shared . that is one point which normally gets missed. also, its not only the tracks but the whole network like signalling, switches, curves etc etc which affects a train speed.

BJP has got some good and clever ministers that have long term vision like Ashwini & Nitin Ji. Hope, we'll keep them chance to keep improving.

this video was amazing dude! your research and presentation is commendable! great job

By the time india completes the first phase of bullet train, China would have doubled their existing high speed rail network. 😴😴

your editing has improved a lot along with nice writing and explanation.Thank you to address this issue

Great Video!!!, Loved the format used

Wonderful indepth study and details. You have earned a subscriber for your hard work

Bro this government is really doing good infrastructure development. They had not announcing new railways but doing on ground work fast.alot of examples can be given about this

Excellent video and it gives a lot of knowledge. Thank you so much for making this video 😇

🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃 I urge you to please prepare and post video on the actual reasons behind recent train accidents (Bilaspur and now Coromandel Express involving 3 trains). Kindly do full research on what is the actual technical reason / mistake that took place in these accidents. HOW & WHY Indian Railways is running with such less manpower, increasing passenger deaths. I expect to concentrate on these following topics 1. reasons for technical errors, 2. inter-departmental issues, 3. British ruling inside Indian Railways, 4. Railway Board vs Officers vs Supervisors vs Technicians, - Indian Railway Employee

One thing I like is that it's extremely affordable Cost of my auto in the morning to station was more than the cost of sleeper train ticket for a 5 hr 250 Km journey

I am glad you are choosing unique topics, the problem with current affairs topics is many youtube channels cover them one by one and there is a information overload. it's good to see you choosing the road less travelled. - Your old time subscriber

Such underrated channel....randomly found your channel...love your content

Very Nice info bro! Kudos for your effort in collecting the data.

The construction of bullet train is happening just at 500 meters away from my home....So ignore kids like Raul Gendhi ....🤣🤣🤣....🤣🤣🤣....🤣🤣🤣

Very very good info . Yes it's time to change mindset . Speeding all trains

Informative video you give some more knowledge on Indian railways ❤😊 thank you ❤

Problem lies with railway tracks, which are still dated to British pre-independence technology. Instead of launching vande bharat express, govt should better revamp indian railway tracks. Bcz, even vande bharat is failing to maintain its potential speed due to unmodernized tracks

Brindavan express used to cover the distance from Madras Central to Bangalore City in 4.5 hours in the 1960s. Today, the same train takes 6 hours. And Vande Bharat takes 4.5 hours now :-)

Well explained bro..i appreciate your work❤

Loved the video. Informative👍

I am aware of this issue. Thanks to you for raising it. 👍🏻

This was a well needed video of the reality of Indian railways since 70 years, every time I board a railway I cannot help but notice it's dated and dirty coaches and stations and super slow speeds. And people have accepted this fact that this is how it's going to be. No government till now has a vision like how china built 38,000km HSR in just 10 years and planning for overall 70,000km. Our 1 bullet train is completing on 2026, it's a shame. Such a vibrant economy and country we have but railways is 100 years dated on technology and speed.

Very well explained ✅ Thank you for sharing ❤️

A comprehensive analysis coupled with facts. Commendable!!

And also you forgot about many projects such as Freight Corridor is under process which allows Freight Trains only.

Well researched content bro. Still miss the daily affairs videos you used to upload 2-3 years back, it made news interesting for me. But glad that now you have finally found a little bit consistency and the time you take is reflected in the quality of your content. Thanks

Are you making great videos?You make videos like this, we love watching videos like this.

waaah ,gajab ke case study kiye ho .........mazza aa gaya, uper se niche tak samjh me aa gaya bhai.

Also in local train routes there's a railway station every 2-3 km. How will the average speed of local passenger trains increase when every 2-3 km train stops. The minimum distance between 2 stations should be at least 6km. And we need MEMU units in every local train for fast acceleration. Local trains still run at 70-80km max speed

Really thoughtful! Keep up the good work!

You were so right and is was proved in June 23 when CAG call for track and signal upgradation was ignored,it led to biggest rail accident of three trains in Orissa! No more new trains till the track and signal upgradation has been completed. Agree to this absolutely

Very confident and knowledgeable Keep it up man

bhai 2014 ke baad ka data dekhao na !! kya matlab government ne data dena band kar diya

Country needs massive track upgradation. As we have everything else but the government is interested in showcasing it's starions for votebank but nothing to do with the real issue of upgrading tracks which means upgrading speed 🚄

Very good information & Thankyou very for important knowledge…🙏🏻👌

Observed improvement in railway 1)Cleaningness 2)Elefication of most tracks 3)High speed with high HPelectrical loco manufacturing in rapidly growing 4)Doubling work especially Mumbai to Chennai route now completely double with electrified Need to implement 1)Needed EMU like train more and more thanks new Vande Bharat project in same direction 2)Upgrading track capacity at least train should be operate 130kmph initially on every remote corner of rail tracks 3)Reducing level crossing by providing more and more ROB 4)If possible tracks protection by providing fencing work 5)Removing of unjustify haults of trains

Wow! appreciate your research and effort bro.Keep up the good work👍

For all over devlopment ... whether it is train or anything.. basic good education is the key factor . So , we should increase our budget in educational sector. 💤💤💤

As as students I always find your videos very informative,we students are the future and knowing these things will eventually help us to think about these problems and find any long and effective solution.We all should work toward making our country #1.

From delhi to bihar no single train has tickets available even I'm book in more than 2 months in advance and that trains are also so delays that we can say "Aadmi chand pe pahle pahuche jayega Indian rocket se magar Railways se ghar baad me

While I agree that in comparison with the countries like China our trains are much slower. But the CAG data is old, trains speed have improved. My hometown is around 180 KM from Delhi. Earlier it used to take 3 Hrs+ till 3-4 years back. Now it takes around 2-2.5 Hrs. So speeds have definitely improved. Moreover after Freight corridors are up and running, speeds of both passenger and freight trains will be improved.

Speed restrictions, Curve, Cattle Runover, Unfenced Tracks are some reasons for delay of Indian Railways 👍

The good thing about the Indian Railways is that while change is slow and gradual, it is still happening. While we can't notice a substantial difference year on year, we can notice significant changes over a span of five years. While good, more changes are necessary to ensure that we keep improving and delivering better quality rail travel to our citizens.

Well researched. Good analysis.

After Odisha train accident we not believe on train travel 😢

Can you make video on Japanese, Chinese train

I am from Bokaro and my father is in Indian Railway, the time you mentioned as 50 mins between Bokaro and Chandrapura is absolutely correct. Trains cover that distance in 10-15 mins at max, rest time the trains wait at station as the arrival time is fixed as that only. Again kahi late ho jaye agar, to fir train ultimately late. Thanks for the video.

High speed has little or no relevance when there are multiple stops. For example a high speed train from Delhi to Madras should not have more than 4 stops. Govt should develop long distance high speed corridors with dedicated tracks purely for these trains. Let the other commuter trains run on the existing tracks. Reserve the new high speed tracks solely for the long distance high speed trains.

Detailed analysis by expert analyst. Keep it up sir, because your videos gives more knowledge than main stream tv channels.

Very good and insightful research 👏

Galti hamne ye ki . Pahle congress ko vote dete the. Or usne desh ko barbad kr diya

Zonal rivalry, I agree becuz not as someone working in the railways but as a passenger many times I have seen Rajdhanis and Durontos on howrah delhi mainline getting late DDU or Allahabad or Kanpur. Although the train reached before time at Dhanbad jn.

bahot acha lga bhai video or genuine topic hain or is problem se main safer main kafi dekhn apadta hin

I used to have a neighbor who was a train driver. We had a god enough relation with them. Whenever he used to go for his job I used to ask him what train he was going to drive and when he would reach the destination. H e was literally never on time. If the train was supposed to leave at 10 am then he would reach the station at 10:30 am. I had once asked him if he had to face penalty because of being late. He told me "I am one of the few people who reach on time (although he has late). My colleagues mostly reach atleast 1 hour after the departing time of the train."

Avarage train fair of Indian Railways is also 5 to 10times cheaper than China train.....with increaseing these infrastructure rail have to increase fare which will become a burden for an average Indian..... So we also need to consider this.

Informative and well explained👍👍

Great Video, Work happen at a very slow speed. A railway bridge which connects old delhi to shahdra near lal kila. I am seeing that bridge under construction from 2010, not sure what is the blocker but this much time shouldn't be taken

The new Modi government gave a record amount of budget in the history of indian railways

Nice Video, Detailed Report Keep it up! Thanks

Bahuth achha depth analysis kiye aap ne 👏👏

Super information, great work.

Our track quality is actually good if we see the world ranking with other countries and perhaps better in South Asia with only Indonesia matching our quality.. .yes South Korea Japan n China are ahead of us....... Replacement of track in overused arterial routes with high capacity is a challenge ..... But somewhere due to lack of willpower n poor work culture of few zones especially in Prayagraj NCR the train punctuality has been very poor .. but if we look at Delhi Mumbai route via vadodara speed n punctuality of train has really improved....

Thanks to Congress government we are still 50 years behind in development of Rail and Road Infrastructure.

What a video bhai 🔥❤️ Subbed

I just love this video and can you please make a video on hoogly especially serampore it is looking like new kolkatk
