Mar 30 (18:17)   22545/Lucknow Jn. - Dehradun Vande Bharat Express

Very early starting time from Lucknow. Plus route is only 100 kph capable. To make it worse, more speed restrictions post Haridwar. IR could have easily introduced an overnight service b/w Lucknow and Dehradun. Would have been easier for passengers and probably more would have used it compared to an 8 Car VB.

The BSB-DDN Express has lots of stoppages which leads to it becoming very slow and also susceptible to overtakes by other trains. There were news reports of this section becoming 110 kph capable from the current 100 kph limit, so that could help future trains.

The train is running in WL from LKO direction. More availability means more last minute travellers can opt for the train. IR is earning good. The TT will reduce this year once LKO-MB will get 130 kmph clearance .
IR should then introduce another VB from CDG to LKO in the reverse direction.
POV: everybody is not comfortable in travelling by sleeper coaches in the night trains. For them and the business travellers , this train is a good option….

Re# 6013992-4              
The train is in WL because there is no other proper options. I think the night time option is the Janata express and that is 6+ hours slower. When there will be lack of alternatives, then people will be forced to choose the one given to them. CDG-LKO is 600+ km on a route that is currently 100 kph and is scheduled to only get 110 kph as of now.

Re# 6013992-5              
This train has a lot of slack between HW and MB. According to the currently designed TT… by reducing slack and increasing MPS…
CDG-LKO is possible with limited stops @110 kmph !
The whole section between Delhi-MB-GKP-North Bihar is proposed to get 130 kmph shortly ! This is the part of IRs top strategic section .. would get Multi tracked and 160 kmph upgrade for sure after some time as per the plans…

Lol I saw the history of timelines and mldt cdo could not even provide 3 tb on one coach. Most or almost all tb are 1 in nos every coach and couldn't find bngali on small TBs ahmmmm top notch maintenance can be seen in iri history of images uploaded of farakka express. So instead of creating unnecessary regional havoc reach out to concerned officials via social media's at least to rectify the mistakes or ask them the appropriate reason as why there is scarcity of bngla tb on trains.

For Khammam to surpass Kakinada in terms of population, there should be many villages around khammam which should be a part of municipal corporation. I don't think there are many such outgrowth hotspots under KMC which can add the necessary population. May be it can get anywhere near 4 to 4.2 lakh but not more than that.

1. 12373/4 is an already existing train. SDAH-RPH intercity runs with this number.
2. The proposed TT is absolutely fake. Why would ER decide to run a SF train via BDC in the first place ? Secondly it is supposed to have a running average speed in excess of 60s upto Shri Ganganagar and run via the main line with a plethora of halts, that idea itself is laughable to me.
3. Seems like a certain member from DGR, who is gender as well as age fluid has made this TT. His

Traces of those could not be found. Example 13287/88 South Bihar Express

The earliest records which I could find are from 1960s, when it ran between TATA-PNBE. (/blog/post/5697502)

Someone at IRFCA added
...
more...
details to my post which I quote here

"I could locate that as early as 1941 there was a overnight 87/88 Patna Barkakana pass leaving Patna via Gaya Gomoh using Patna Gaya link. The train was all stop between Gomoh and Barkakana but Limited stops Patna to Gaya though passenger fares were charged. From Barkakana there was a passenger connection to Tata and a connection to Ranchi by NG Muri connector. During war, the train was curtailed but in 1947 or so it was restarted as Patna Tata passenger via Gaya Gomoh and Barkakana taking around 16 hours for the journey and Limited stops between Patna to Gomoh and all stop thereafter.

This pattern continued till 1962 and thereafter when the BG line to Ranchi from Muri was opened it was converted to an express and christened South Bihar Express. There was a connecting slip coaches by 87A/B from Muri till Ranchi. Now it was limited stops and was reaching Tata in 11 hours end to end. It continued like this until 1964 and while going to school in Patna we could see the 14 bogie rake parked at the Hardinge park siding having arrived at 730 or so."

So it is not possible to locate the exact history of many trains, running from centuries or so.
