Fondly remember travelling by this train in early 1990's. At that time it used to go up till Varanasi. Was one of the best trains of ET-ALD section. sadly, with the extension has lost its priority completely. Just one query, was it a superfast in its heydays, when it used to travel till Varanasi Jn. Senior members can please reply.

Okay, I just had this query because I travelled on it from JBP to Mumbai, when LTT was known as Kurla Terminus. After, JBP its first halt was Itarsi.

Re# 517753-3                  
still this is one of the best train on this route between mumbai-allahabad, even with lots of stoppages it maintain good speed.
This was the first express train to run on aly-gyn-bsb line after gauge conversion.

Re# 467387-176                  
I have travelled by both 12260 & 12001. In terms food, definitely 12260 is better. However, speed & punctuality it simply does not even come close to 12001. On both occasions 12260 was delayed by 1.5 hrs to 2 hrs. While 12001, was on time at NDLS on one occassion, while in my recent journey on 23rd June it arrived at NDLS 10 min. before time despite leaving from BPL 10 min. late. I guess this settles the debate in terms of speed which is the king. In fact, 12001 is not the king, but "THE GOD" of all trains in IR.

Re# 441727-5                  
This train used to have a pantry car, however because lots of railway officials indulged in "Muftkhori" it was a loss making scenario, hence discontinued. Hope, it is reinstated, its a fantastic train, probably one of the best Sampark Krantis.

This train should be extended upto Manikpur, so the passengers from Katni, Satna, Maihar, Manikpur will get the benefits of this Garib Rath Train.
I think time table shouln't be forced to change after this. Additionally train will get around 3-4 yard hours.
Not a bad idea at all.............

Re# 439922-4                  
It was to be extended because of occupancy issues. But then cancelled because of protests. But, nowadays running pretty packed from JBP. Hence, no question of extending it, however a new Superfast from ALD to Mumbai can be thought of, provided ALD division does not screw up the punctuality of the trains.

Why doesn't Railways speed up this train, by an hour or so. Remove redundant halts like Harda & Jalgaon.

but things to concern
almost 4 year during lalu prasad yadav rail budget haldia visakapattam,howrah yesvantpur bullet train proposal were taken which was to run at more than 200kmph.
in term of high speed train india should atleast achieve 200kmph while others countries crossed 360kmph, 560kmph too.india is far behind.
only this bhopal shtabdi is the indias pride along with rajdhani mainly howrah and mumbai.
In this budget it was said they are trying to reduce travel time between howrah delhi 17hr to 14hr.
but they are forgetting that average time taken by all train in this route is almost 24hours between kolkata to

new delhi.
merely 25% passenger travel on this high class rajdhani,durantos but rest travel on this normal express train which takes generally 23hr minimum.
Indian Railways always thinking to reduce travel time for those people who are in rajdhani ,durantos not in normal sleeper class trains.
There travel time will remain same.
