The problem of this train is not of time reversal or patronage, it is of zone reversal...
Its like how could New Jalpaiguri could get a Shatabdi Express and with a LHB rake???
And that to it is maintained at NJP shed...
I have seeing this issue from the introduction of this train...
If...
more... this train was given to another route[leaving NJP]/or zone then this issues would never exist...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to share with you one thing, this train is given best treatment at NJP Shed...
Not only for this train but also for Darjeeling Mail though it is a ER train...
They[NJP Shed] try to do every thing for this train with their limited set up...
Hats off to those Staff...

Railway fanning is our passion or hobby what ever way we decide...
We are here because we love trains...
If all our[Railway Fan's] DNA gets sampled i think we will get a code in common call "TRAIN"... :)
Indian Railway has bonded us[People of India] like a skeleton... We are expanding it to make us more stronger and bigger...
Every part of the skeleton is important...
But regionalism, ego & politics are set to conquer Indian Railways & Railway Fanning...
