Naturally occupancy will reduce to nearly zero. 6 to 12 hours late running is too much for daily Intercity train that too for Jan Shatabdi Express which charges much higher fare plus superfast charges. This train is being made to run so late as if time has no value for passengers. It is an extremely amusing fact that however late this train starts from source, ticket availability at all stations enroute closes at right time. What does railway expect? Passengers should book ticket before 5:50 am in morning and then wait for 7 hours till this train starts from Howrah at 1:00 pm (nowadays this train starts daily from Howrah after 1:00 pm). Same for all stations enroute for both up and down train. Passengers wanting to travel from Tatanagar to Howrah will have to book ticket before 4:05 pm and wait for 12 hours and catch this train around 4:00...
more... am in morning. Those passengers who have not pre planned to travel by this train, but who need and want to travel in the time of this train will also not be able to travel by this train as ticket availability closes timely. So this train is losing both type of passengers, those who want to travel in the right time of this train and also those who want to travel in the time of actual running of this train.
