The so-called premium Duronto Express encountered significant operational issues when its WAP-7 locomotive failed near Ghaziabad. After reaching Dadri, a WAG-9 was substituted, limiting the train's speed to 100 km/h despite the section's 130 km/h capability. The train was repeatedly moved to loop lines at smaller stations, leading to at least 15 other trains overtaking it, including the Farakka Express. It's particularly concerning that, despite Ghaziabad being a major hub with one of the largest electric loco sheds in the country, an alternative WAP-7 could not be provided.

Overtaken by Farakka on mainline, that's a new low.

Perhaps Dadri being the freight hub, it was easier to get a WAG-9 ready, given the fact that the train only halted near to an hour and half. Moreover Durontos have lost the priority they used to enjoy.

a time when many WAP-4s are collecting dust inside their home sheds, especially up north. A few could have been allotted back to their original sheds and stationed at major intermediate stations. It could save passengers from a lot of inconvenience and also their time.

As per the source, RM has declined the proposed extension of Charminar Express. However, he has assured of a new train service from CHZ towards down south (Instead of Charminar extension).

In that case, if at all this train were to become a 16 coacher, even then it would be reduced to just 2-3 Sleepers (from currently 10)... much like Upasana/Kumbh, would it be of much help - given the quantum of rush on this train?

Because given the current infrastructure around Kalka railway station, it's frankly quite herculean to construct platforms there now for 22 coach trains. For standard 22 coach LHB rake, it'll have to be short terminated at CDG, which again some of our forum members were saying wouldn't be

viable, not to forget Shimla/Kalka's sole connection to UP and East India to be lost forever.

Any which ways, increasing frequency of WB SK with extension upto CDG for now seems like a pretty feasible option (I wonder why Railways has not built second alternative terminal for such an important city like Chandigarh already, at SAS Nagar Mohali for example).

Well, value was lost even before introduction as Jamtara, Patna Saheb etc aren't exactly value addition propositions.
Had the halts been Jasidih and Asansol only then I would've agreed with your point. Now since a station has already got halt due to a criteria, why can't some other ? Halting of Vande Bharat over say Howrah Rajdhani is a great proposition any day.
Remember Mansi Junction ?
