I believe attachment and detachment of 21067 / 21068 RBL link express should be done at Allahabad instead of PBH. Lots of time gets wasted of the pax travelling towards RBL by this link express. One at ALD (which is almost 45 minutes for reversal) and one at PBH (which is almost more than a hour).
If attachment and detachment of 21067 / 21068 RBL link express is done at Allahabad instead of PBH, it will save lots of hours as 21067 / 21068 RBL link express can go towards RBL via PFM, UCR.

The train can be easily seeded up by at list 3 hrs in Madgaon to NZM section, 12884 takes 28 hrs 40 mins, while 12883 takes 31 hrs 35 mins in return direction, the train can save more than 2 hrs on just Mao to PNVL, where it takes 10 hrs 10 mins against 7 hrs 18 mins by Janashtabdi.

Yes I agree with you friend.
I travelled by this Duronto last week and i found this to be a slowest duronto or in other words we can say this train is ruining the name of duronto express.
(1) This train is scheduled to take 2 hours to reach BSR from PNVL which is very surprising. My train departed from PNVL at 11pm and arrive near Diva Jn at 11:30pm and it was halted there for about 20 minutes. Between Kopar and Bhiwandi road, speed was ok and after Bhiwandi, it started crawling...

Dear Friends,
Need your advise on the below queries:
(1) Can anyone confirm whether 12283 ERN - NZM Duronto express halts at Vasai Road. If it halts, for how much time? Has anyone boarded this train from BSR in past?
(2) Is it ok to board this train from BSR? I have booked the ticket from Panvel to NZM as we cannot book the...

Thanks for your advise Friend.
In past, I have read somewhere that TTE waits for the passenger till next station or 150 km (whichever comes first) and then he cancels the accommodation reserved for us and allot it to the passenger on the RAC list/Waiting list accordingly on priority. But I am not sure... :-(
Regards.

Yes friend. I agree with you as Panvel comes under CR so there is a possibility that CR TTE check the ticket who has the boarding point from Panvel and completes his duty.
I am also surprised to see that this train (inspite of being duronto) taking two hours to reach BSR from PNVL while other mail/exp trains are taking 60 to 75 minutes which is why I am concerned bcoz in 2 hours TTE can easily check 6 to 7 coaches.

It appears that after ADI Duronto crosses BSR, they give clearance to this train but its not good. On Wednesday, there is no duronto departing from BCT (i.e. NDLS, JP and INDB) so they can make this train run on the same time other duronto departing from BCT (i.e. NDLS, JP and INDB) runs but I dont understand the logic of railway authorities.

Hello Friends,
Thanks for your valuable suggestions.
I travelled by this train to NZM last week. In order to avoid any risk, I went to Panvel and boarded the train.
I had the discussion with TTE and he told me that he dont have any problem if i had boarded the train from BSR. He told me that they wait till BSR and then...
