Extended data

Trains are different from cars. Only one train can pass through a railway at a time. However, there are more than one train running on the same railway every day, so how to make overall arrangements for the passing sequence has become a systematic and complicated knowledge. It can be said that the delay is inevitable, and there are many reasons that affect the punctual operation of trains, most of which are natural disasters, which is also the most important irresistible factor. If a storm comes, the train has to slow down in order to ensure the safety of the train and passengers. After deceleration, if there is no condition to speed up, it will affect the punctual arrival of the train and the punctual operation of the subsequent trains.

Secondly, there are some sudden human factors. For example, vehicles and livestock cross the tracks, or people walk on the railway. In order to ensure traffic safety, emergency braking measures may delay the train. There are also some cases caused by line construction or sudden equipment failure, especially during the peak passenger flow periods such as Spring Festival travel rush and summer vacation. Due to the surge of passenger flow, in order to ensure passengers get on and off, the stopping time is extended, which will also lead to the delay of passenger train departure. In the above situation, the train is delayed to let passengers arrive at their destination more safely.

Of course, there are also cases where locomotives are delayed due to the railway itself, such as temporary changes in train preparation plans and inadequate services, which affect passengers' travel and infringe on their interests. Then, the railway department should give some economic compensation to the passengers who have caused losses on the premise of explaining the situation and obtaining understanding.
