Ever wondered how many passenger trains arrive late every day in the country? Data tabled by the ministry of railways in Parliament on Friday shows that between April 2017 and February 2018, 1.48 lakh trains, or 450 trains a day, arrived late at the destination station.
The worst performers on the punctuality benchmark are mail and express trains, with 75,880 arriving late during the period. The second worst was superfast trains, 60,856 of which were late. Close to 7,000 premium trains like Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto were also delayed, says the report, which does not include suburban trains.
