Train Punctuality was 68-69% in June

“Punctuality of trains was at 68 to 69 per cent last month,” he said during a media interaction Thursday.

Ojha said while there were various reasons, like the AC-DC conversation and the heavy rains last month that caused disruption in services, the quality of the rakes was also a major factor. Other major causes for delays, he said, were the level-crossing gates on the central line, chain pulling, and the capacity of existing terminals facing heavy congestion.
