INDIAN RAILWAYS - PUNE DIVISION
LOCALS BETWEEN PUNE and LONAVALA

Dear Sir,

I am a regular traveller from PIMPRI to PUNE through LOCAL. The local narmally takes 25- 30 mins to cover the distance from PIMPRI to PUNE Junction.

I take the 8.32 local coming from LONAVALA. Now a days there is no fix timining of the local.

The local is supposed to reach PIMPRI Railway station on 8.32 but most of the time it is late. It is stopped at KIRKEE for the INDRAYANI EXPRESS to pass for about 15-20 mins. Some times it also stops at SHIVAJINAGAR for long time.

It takes a halt for signal of about 10-15 mins just before reaching PUNE JUNCTION. This journey of 25-30 mins goes more then 50 mins.

There are people travelling for their office who are late regurlarly including me.

In the evening also the situation is same. The local which is suppose to leave PUNE JUNCTION on 7, reaches the station at 7 - 7.10 which then in turn invites more passengers then it should resulting in some accidents.

Also out of 4 only 2 locals have 12 racks and rest have 9 racks. If the local is late or cancelled no announcement is done.

Request you to look in the matter for better TRAVELLING EXPERIENCE.
