Despite improvement in the weather conditions in the Danapur division of East Central Railway (ECR), railways cancelled at least 10 long-distance mail and express trains either originating from Patna Junction or passing through the division on Friday. The foggy weather has cost railways dearly as loss of railway revenue could accrue in crores of rupees due to cancellation and abnormal late running of trains in the division during the past one month.
Sources said the Patna-Kota Express (13239) was cancelled on Friday due to its abnormal late running while Patna-Ranchi Jan Shatabdi Express (12365/12366) was cancelled due to poor visibility from both ends. Udyan Abha Toofan Express (13007/ 13008) and Mahananda Express (15483/15484) were also cancelled from both ends while Sealdah-Anand Vihar Express (13119), Varanasi-Sealdah Express (13134) and New Delhi-Malda Town Express (14004) also remained cancelled.
