Yesterday again... SER does its job, 12810 Mail departs Jharsuguda bang on time. In SECR... arrives in Nagpur 4.5 hours late. About 50 minutes of which is due to extended scheduled stops. This has become a norm. Once in CR, it will probably make up about an hour.
I think SECR traffic management is the problem. It can't be just the freight traffic either, which seems to be non-issue on SER which is mostly double line whereas delays are being raked up in SECR on triple line section.
