This train has totally been ruined with time and in IR once ruined they won't revert. Multiple halts in patna region further in bju kir section made the charm of this train lost however due to demands will always be the first priority of every passenger travelling in route. We can expect vb version maintaining the charm of old rajdhani.

When Rajdhani Express plan was made in 1969, Sri Atal Bihari Vajpayee wanted the 1st Two Rajdhani Express trains to run from Bombay VT(Mumbai CSMT) to New Delhi & Bombay Central to New Delhi. But Congress Govt. made Rajdhani Express to run in Howrah to New Delhi route. Vajpayee ji remarked by saying " Yeh Rajdhani Express Yojna fail ho jayega, Kolkata se jyada bada saher(city) Bombai(Mumbai) hain"

Listen mate, No one expected TMC to get 218!!! in 2021 & 29!!! in 2024. All things ground in reality after the Sandeshkhali incident expected TMC to get 16, BJP to get 18 & rest 8 seats. Even the Muslim areas of Newtown, Bhangore voted against TMC. TMC candidates like Yusuf Pathan, Kirti Azad won despite being outsiders in Bengal politics & heavyweight BJP leaders who won big in 2019 lost in 2024. In 15 seats, Votes polled was 8-10% more than the total voters & TMC won 11 of those seats & BJP just 4. And my blog /blog/post/6215858
is not a political post. It's about what happened during launch of Rajdhani Express.

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.

Good NEWS 🥳🥳
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).
