I think you are an account who placed kudal as hometown but talks more about Delhi-Bhopal route criticising whole section without having proper knowledge of it.
Trains like Gita Jayanti, Chattisgarh, Jhelum Express are some of the slowest trains on the entire route.
And don't you think it's MP halt politics which degraded the train rather blaming NCR and NR? Because halts ki demand sabse zada MP se hi aati hai. No matter it's Bina, Gwalior or Morena.
They...
more... have ruined Bhopal Shatabdi, on a surge to ruin Rajdhani, Duronto and Sks now.
You must introspect what's wrong with your home station rather blaming zones for not maintaining the train's prestige.
Grand Trunk Express is still working fine on the route, and is still popular among the passengers pn this route.
