    by: प्रतीक  Today (02:39AM)

    Mumbai's reputation of a city in a hurry is borne out by a new study that illustrates citizens' preference for fast trains over slow services despite the inconsiderable time saving.

Re# 439538-1                  
This chain is really helpful. Last month itself, when 12307 Jodhpur Express was completely full, with huge huge waiting list, this chain came to my rescue. No wonder i had already booked both in 12307 and 12311 together while booking, else i would have really suffered as my waitlist stayed stagnant at 6 in AC 3 tier of 12307.
Berths in connecting train from DEE are quite easily available.
To sum up, a good job by you, Sir.
Regards,
S Karan (IRFCA)

A perfect chain. Main point is that you prioritized buffer time. Moreover an economical chain that a common man may take.

Re# 439538-3                  
Absolutely right, Mr. Karan. When likes of 12307/12308 are the main options available, either you go well in advance to book your tickets or better be ready for alternatives, as was done by you. Well, an example where application and creation of a chain are seen side by side. Good it worked for you. It will boost the creator, Mr. GauravHWH, to some extent.
