BANG_BANG Durgiana express covers 284 km in 4.17 hours. No mean feat in LKO-SLN-BSB section.
BSB arrival: 35 mins. before time

Lesser halts Kumbha avoided ot from Dbrt Rajdhani while any other could have been ot. Fastest non stop trains do cover Pnbe-Mgs in 2.5 hours also. SK does occasionally while others too
12325: click here
8 intermediate halts MB covers Gaya-Mgs in 3.20 hours as per TT sometimes faster.
MB : click here
Shramjeevi

is undoubtedly a very good train. It has halts buts runs well similar to 13005 Punjab Mail.
Besides this blog was about Durgiana Express and no where did I say it is a better train than Shramjeevi. So I guess there was no need to drag Shramjeevi. Someday we can have a Race blog on both but kindly refrain yrself from demeaning other trains.

Its nt about dragging shramjeevi...but its just the route common to durgiana with more stops thn it & still it made 4 hrs for LKO-BSB!!
Further, whn its all abt been non-stop & slack..u just cant pat smething extraordinary just cz it gt full throttle & break thru the slot!!
/train/arrdephistory/7859/332/333 shows Kumbha covered in 2:51 hrs for PNBE-MGS against fastest train schedule...cz the fastest even gt slacked as like MB-LKO stretch!!
No

doubt..its incredible & only few could do in BSB-LKO/MB-LKO..bt if its been done by the ones with many stops even doesnt make non-stop stand out!!

These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
