Train skips stop, reverses 1km to pick up passengers in Kerala

喀拉拉邦一列火车错过车站，倒车1公里接乘客

KOCHI: If Raj and Simran of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge had waited for the Venad Express in Kerala on Sunday, the script may well have derailed to an anti-climax.

In a bizarre contrast to the iconic scene in the 1995 blockbuster, the Shoranur-bound train jumped a small station and went past - only to reverse nearly 1 km minutes later to the bewilderment of its passengers, rail officials and others.

It's not known if there were any runaway lovers like Raj and Simran among the waiting riders at Cheriyanad station in Alappuzha but the sight of the train zip past and pulling back in the rural pocket was no less dramatic than a celluloid thriller.

科钦：如果电影《勇夺芳心》（Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge）里的拉吉和希姆兰在喀拉拉邦等待的是Venad特快这列火车，剧本很可能会被推向高潮。

与1995年大片中的标志性场景形成了奇怪的对比，这列开往肖拉努尔的火车错过一个小站，然后在行驶了近1公里后倒车，这让乘客、铁路官员和其他人感到困惑。

目前还不知道在阿拉普扎的Cheriyanad车站等待的乘客中是否有像拉吉和希姆兰这样的情侣，看到火车呼啸而过，然后停了下来，这一幕的戏剧性不亚于一部电影惊悚片。

The scene unfolded around 7.45am when the 16302 Venad Express from Thiruvananthapuram neared Cheriyanad, a "D-grade station" between the bigger Mavelikara and Chengannur stations.

"There is no signal at Cheriyanad as it is only a halt station. Signals are available only at block (bigger) stations. There might have been an error by the locopilots (drivers). They noticed it when the train had crossed some metres," a rail official said. A train can't be jerked to a stop and by the time it does, it has rolled down a few hundred metres.

早上7点45分左右，从蒂鲁瓦南塔普兰驶出的16302次Venad特快列车快速接近Cheriyanad车站，这是大站Mavelikara和Chenganur之间的“D级车站”。

一位铁路官员表示：“Cheriyanad没有信号机，它只是一个停靠站。信号机只在路段（更大的）车站可用。机车驾驶员（司机）可能出现了失误。他们在火车经过几米时注意到了这一点。”。火车不能急停，停下来的时候，它已经驶出了几百米

"Venad Express came to a halt only after running a few hundred metres and that's why it had to roll back around 700 metres to the station. There was a lapse of around eight minutes in the schedule but the drivers made it up later," the official said.

Railway sources played down the episode as "nothing major" as no one faced any inconvenience. After the train reverted to Cheriyanad, people were able to get off and board, the sources added.

A passengers' association echoed the view, saying there were only a few passengers as it was a Sunday. "There was some confusion among the passengers seeing the train continuing without halting. But it was a minor incident," said Paul Manvattom, president of All Kerala Railway Passengers Association.

这位官员说：“Venad特快在行驶了几百米后才停了下来，它不得不倒退700米左右回到车站。耽搁了大约8分钟的时间，被司机们后来提速补上了。”

铁路消息人士轻描淡写这一事件，说这是“没什么大不了的”，因为没有人出现任何不便。消息人士补充说，在火车返回Cheriyanad后，乘客可以下车上车。

一个乘客协会也赞同这一观点，称由于当天是周日，所以只有少数乘客。喀拉拉邦铁路乘客协会主席Paul Manvattom说：“看到火车不停站，乘客们有些困惑。但这是一起小事故。”

No enquiry is require really. It was just a freak incidence and should be taken lightly.

实际上不需要调查。这只是一起反常的事件，应该低调处理。

Evans Sumitra

I agree with your comments to some extent.

我在某种程度上同意你说的

Ponraj Abraham

when the train crosses the station, there will be red signal and after passing certain distance there will be orange signal. If any other train follows, it will hit the train from rear side causing mishap.

当列车通过车站时，会亮起红色信号，跑了一定距离后会出现橙色信号。如果有其他列车紧随其后，会从后侧撞上列车，造成事故。

Read it carefully. There is no signal at this station as it is a D grade station

仔细看。这个车站没有信号，它是D级车站

Many hearts skipped a beat when the train skipped the halt . No body jumped out / pulled the chain of the train - very disciplined passengers

当火车错过站时，许多人心跳加速。没有人跳出来/扯下火车链条，乘客纪律严明

It is a no signal station. Trains can back up few meters. Not a news worthy.

No doubt, South Indian people are (majority %) good people comparing to North Indian ( Mostly Delhi)

毫无疑问，与印度北方人（主要是德里）相比，印度南方人（大多数）是好人

As you say it is a minor incident , no one is affected . Why is it a major headline then ?

正如你所说，这是一起小事故，没有人受到影响。为什么会成为头条新闻？

Modi govt has appointed a truck driver to run a train as the PM used to flag off the vande Bharat train.

莫迪政府任命了一名卡车司机来驾驶火车

Aniket Bhagat

news is news, petty or not. if you are unbothered, don't comment

新闻就是新闻，不管是否微不足道。如果你不关心，就不要发表评论

Subbu Subramaniam

The underlying cause could be bigger. What if the locopilots were using their mobile phones and were distracted ? That is a big risk

根本原因可能更危险。如果机车驾驶员当时在使用手机，并且分心了怎么办？这是一个很大的风险

Jai Ram

No signals are installed at this station. Hence, such mistake may be pardoned once.

这个车站没有安装信号机。因此，司机犯下这样的失误，可能会被赦免一次。

Even though it is just ahalt station , signals should be there

Our Hon PM goes to to inaugurate every train, what is use, if train can skip stop. Trains should be computerised and needed data loaded in. Trains should pick up signal from land and computer in train should control speed and stop, fine adjustments may be done by driver

我们尊敬的莫迪总理为每列火车举行通车典礼，如果火车可以跳过停靠站，有什么用。列车应计算机化，并加载所需的数据。列车应从地面接收信号，列车内的计算机应控制速度和停车，司机可进行微调

it just skipped a stop.. chill... even a bus skips stops sometimes.. even we miss taking turns on the road while driving

它只是跳过了一个站。即使是公交车有时也会错过站点啊。就连我们开车时也会错过出口
