i have travelled in this train in august last yr.off late i had a chance to board 12260 sealdah duronto.i'm just trying to make a comparison.those whho are frequent travellers in 12262/12261 can help-
1.food quality is surely better in sealdah duronto.pantry men in 12262 has a lot of catch up work to do.i agree with what a blogger mentioned few days back-mode of serving tea in 12262 in just too bad.they can take a lession out of 12260's book, where they serve hot water in thermosflasks & a tray is provided.for that pantry of 12262 will have to get those small trays & flasks.
2.toilet
...
more...
door passage & wash area is carpeted in 12260.this keeps the coaches clean & dry.has they been in place by now in 12262?anyone who has boarded it off late can help.
3.speed-of course u can't blame 12262 for slower speed.its a matter of tracks.
4.cleanliness-both are equal, 12260 may have a slight edge.
5.punctuality wise 12262/12261 is ahead.but 12260 runs on a more congested route with less slack time.
as i plan to go to mumbai by 12262 next month, can anyone who has travelled in mumbai duronto help regarding these facts?

Howrah-Nagpur and Wardha-Igatpuri have an MPS of 110 kmph. Nagpur-Wardha has an MPS of 120 kmph. This information is from the Working Timetables of various divisions. However, the train's overall running time can be reduced since it has been known to arrive before time and also gets high sectional clearance.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
