The Indian Railways is the fourth largest national railway system of the world and it is also the eighth largest employer of the world which runs more than 13K passenger trains daily along with more than 8K trains in freight segment. Trains getting late in India is not a new thing but we have to admit that things have changed considerably in the past few years. Nevertheless in monsoons and winters, the problem of trains getting late is experienced more by passengers in comparison to summers.
In fact, every year Indian railways cancels some trains during winters which travel in those areas where it is very foggy during the night in order to prevent accidents.
Recently, a video went viral showing a group of men who started dancing in celebration after their train arrived on the station and the reason behind their joy was that they were tired of waiting for the train as it was 9 hrs late.
A Twitter user posted the video with the caption, “Our train got late by 9 hours. This is how people reacted when it arrived.”

Earlier we used to have such delays every day. Now the situation is improved and better. Still 9 hours is too much.
