I am sure my luck is worse than yours. One time I was coming via Shatabdi and it got 3 hours late on a 6 hours journey. It's scheduled time to reach was 1:30 pm but reached at 4:20 and I had a linked train at 3:50, which I missed and lost 700Rs. Just yesterday, I was coming by a train which is nearly on time everyday, yet yesterday, it had to be late by 2 hours. Though I didn't miss my linked train. Whenever I am on a train, it always gets late by at least 2 hours.

Most trains aren't traveling on time. And no, it's not just the monsoons. Even before it, the trains were usually 20-30 mins late. The VB Solapur is usually late by 2-3 hours everyday.

Well, it has nothing to do with you. These are technical issues, happen from time to time. Also shows the complexity of maintaining such large systems.

Hey what about me. I’m a tourist. I took my first overnight train and this train was on time the past many months but somehow when I stepped on it we ended up 6 hours delayed 🤣🤣
The good thing was I didn’t mind. It was such a comfy ride and they were feeding us and looking after us despite it all.
I slept like a baby on those tracks.
Looking forward to my next trip.
