Poor on-time performance of 2051/2052 Jan Shatabdi Express

Hi,

This is regarding the 2051/2052 Jan Shatabdi Express. I see that there is a change in the time schedules for this train. As per the current time table, the train is now expected to arrive at Madgaon at 14:10 hrs. The train is supposed to depart Thivim station at 13:04 hrs.

This is in sharp contrast to the time-table of say 2 years ago, when the train was supposed to arrive at Madgaon at 13:30 hrs. I find it strange as the train is supposed to leave Thivim at 13:04 and arrive at Madgaon at 14:10. Does it take so much time to reach Madgaon (More than an hour for a 9-coach train)?

The railways claims that throughout India, trains have been speeded up. But as the case of the 2051/2052 train, the opposite seems to have happened. The railways was able to manage the tight schedule of the Jan Shatabdi till a couple of years ago, but now they are unable to do so and have actually made it a show train
