It was a common belief about Indian Railways that if you are traveling by train, it is difficult to reach your destination on time, but the railway is now seen to be proving this notion wrong every day. This claim has not been made by anyone else but by Indian Railways itself. According to the Railways, trains have run for about 7 percent more this year.
