This is what common people are talking about, signalling which is killing punctuality of ordinary trains coupled with introduction of VB in that route are adding woes due to overtakes. Though trains are running at 130kmph the PSR at junction stations being 15kmph are killing the time saved.

please wait...Translate to EnglishThis is what regular folks are talking about, signaling that is messing up the schedule of normal trains along with the new VB system on that route, causing even more problems with overtaking. Even though trains are going at 130kmph, the speed limit at junction stations is only 15kmph, which is wasting all the time saved.
And another thing, there's been a decrease in the number of staff in safety departments because the higher-ups are pressuring them to join other departments to cut costs. Loco pilots aren't given enough breaks after working for 8 hours, and they don't have enough time for maintenance. These are all common issues raised by the Railway unions.
