Being a vizagite pls explain me how can a train enter the pfs when the train leaves from PF 1. Day before yesterday I went to rly stn to pickup from Janmabhoomi at 1940. The ernakulam Patna express left at 1940 and janmabhoomi came in at 2000. When the train leaves from pf1 it cuts across all the lines which are incoming to other 7 pf. I think u are aware of it. I have explained him the same. As its dinner time the slot trains being long distance are put in pf1 which is being followed from many years. While pf 8 s reserved for GR pf 5 for korba exp at 2000. In the gap of that 30mins they need to allow BZA vskp passenger which is always late which goes to NSP/MTM and also rayagada Bza passenger. So literally there is no time left for letting 2035 arrival...
more... before time. This happens on daily basis. The only case when janmabhoomi arrives DVD at 1900 it was given signal to arrive at 1930/40 on Pf2 the gap widens between 2000/30 to let this train in before time.
