What we measured
This report uses only TrainLiveStatus's own delay tracking for seven days, 20 to 26 October 2026. For each train we record the largest delay reported during that day's run. A run counts as on time when that largest delay is within 15 minutes.
Method: the window is 20 to 26 October 2026, which is 7 distinct days. We had 45 Duronto trains in scope and ranked 25 of them. Averages are per train, over the days we observed that train, so the number of days differs from one train to another (3 to 7 among the 15 trains shown in the table). This is our own delay history, not official railway statistics.
Overall performance
- Average largest delay: 95 minutes
- On time: 28% overall, within 15 minutes

What stands out
The two Howrah and Mumbai trains lead the table. 12262 CSMT Duronto Express, from Howrah, averaged 432 minutes. 12261 Howrah Duronto, from CSMT, averaged 428 minutes and had a worst day of 666 minutes, about 11 hours. Neither train was on time on any day we observed.
The Pune pair comes next. 12222 PUNE Duronto Express averaged 342 minutes from Howrah. 12221 Howrah Duronto averaged 210 minutes from Pune, with 20% of its runs on time.
The best on-time rate among the 15 is 12269 MAS NZM Duronto at 33%. None of the 15 trains shown has a cancelled day in our tracking for this window.
What to do with this
- Check the train's own page on the day you travel. A week of averages does not tell you how the next run will go.
- Set arrival alerts on the train page, so you hear about a late run early.
- For a fixed-time meeting, allow hours rather than minutes on the long-average routes. The trip planner can compare other trains between the same two stations.
How to read these numbers
- This is our own tracking, not an official statistic. We do not record why a train was late, so this report does not explain any delay.
- Seven days is a short window. One very bad day can lift an average, so the worst day is shown next to it.
- A train observed on only 3 or 4 days gives a thinner picture than one observed on 7.
Earlier reports and related reading
Our Duronto report for the week ending 4 October used the same method, so you can compare the two weeks. For all trains rather than Duronto only, see the most delayed trains from 19 to 25 October. If two sources show different delays for the same train, why apps show different delays for the same train explains the usual reasons.

Frequently asked questions
What does average largest delay mean?
For each train we record the largest delay reported during each day's run, then average those daily figures over the days we observed that train. A run is on time when its largest delay is within 15 minutes.
Is this an official Indian Railways statistic?
No. It comes from TrainLiveStatus's own delay tracking for 20 to 26 October 2026. Official figures come from Indian Railways, and they may use different definitions.
Why do some trains have fewer days in the average?
We average only over the days we observed a run for that train. Among the 15 trains shown, the count ranges from 3 to 7 days, so a train with fewer days has a thinner record.
Does this tell me whether my Duronto will be late?
No. A week of past delays is only a guide. Check the live status of your train on the day you travel, and use the trip planner if you need another option.
