Train number 13006 / 13007 Shri Ganganagar – Howrah – Shri Ganganagar is one of the slowest express trains currently running in Indian Railways list of trains when there is too much noise of speeding up the journey. Recently launched Tejas Express may be the new pride for railways but perhaps the pride is too less when majority of trains are not running on time.

For Abhatoofan Express total journey distance between Howrah junction and Shri Ganganagar is 1976kms. This train completes the whole journey in 50 hours and 35 minutes with an average speed of about 39 kmph. However, a data analysis by runningstatus.in reveals that on average this train runs 8 hours approx. combining both sides. If we add this to the total journey time it becomes approx. 58 hours and 35 minutes with an average speed of 33. Now this becomes more of a shame for Indian Railways.

What’s worth noting is that this data is of last year forget this year which tells even worst story. As per data this train has not arrived even once on its scheduled time in last 5 months.
