Passengers onboard the Mumbai-bound Lashkar Superfast Express on Sunday accused the Railways of negligence after facing leaking toilets, lack of food, and an eight-hour delay, with many alleging that the “superfast” train halted at nearly every station en route.

Last week, a mid-day journalist travelling with his elderly mother reported being stranded at Lucknow railway station for nine hours while waiting for Train No. 01080 to Mumbai, with no updates on arrival or platform despite freezing weather.
