Take Corrective Measures to Improve Punctuality of Trains: Railway Board to North Central Zone

The Railway Board has asked the North Central Railway Zone to improve the punctuality of trains that emanate from or pass through it.

NCR, which always had a remarkable record of maintaining trains’ punctuality, has, of late, reported poor punctuality performance as several trains have failed to maintain their running time schedule.

“It has been observed that the punctuality performance of NCR is showing a declining trend,” the Railway Board said in a communication to the Principal Chief Operations Manager of NCR.

“Board desires that NCR should take corrective measures for punctual running of trains, closely monitor punctual running of mail express trains from point to point, control assets failures and improve rectification time of failures, so that punctuality losses are minimised,” it added.
