The Western Railway (WR) administration recently asked motormen to reduce the speed of trains. But the move has compounded the problems of commuters. More than 40 trains have been cancelled in the past three days, leaving commuters with no option but to travel in overcrowded trains. The order has also delayed services with most trains running late by about 15 minutes.
Normally, trains are run at an average speed of 45 kmph, and at times they even touch 60 kmph in case the train is running on the fast line. However, the circular by the administration asks the motormen to curtail their speed to less than 35 kmph when the signals turn yellow and while entering any platform.
