Subject : App for IE and Firefox
Dear Sir,
I see that an app has already been designed for Firefox which looks like a toolbar.Now that it has

been designed, I don't expect any changes to it but since the app has not been yet designed for IE, I would recommend some suggesions.
1) The app should be of Google Chrome style. i.e. directly search trains from station A to B and get availability.
2)FF toolbar only has box for PNR status....IE app should have that for getting availability status also.
3)It should be able to hide itself and still function in background...and not occupying space like a whole toolbar.
I hope that you will consider my suggestions.
Thank you,
Shridhar.
P.S. More suggestions are welcome but do not suggest impracticable things.

Please change the name to " Deccan Queen".
It is not "Deccan Queen SF express".
Same for 12123.

Re# 295532-7              
Ok....let m explain.
The name for this train on this site is "Deccan Queen Express".
But the actual name is only "Deccan Queen".
I only want that "Express" word to be removed from both 12123 and 12124.

@ pkvenkatramani** : Well, The official Indian Railways site names it as Deccan Queen and IRCTC does the same....what would you call this ?
Anywhere do you see the word "Express" written ?
Thus it is only DQ and not express.

But in addition to what I've shown above, the announcements at various stations also call it only DQ and not express.The board on the train itself says only DQ and not express.

Thank you very much pkvenkatramani.
It was never a battle you see. Anyway I've been here in Pune since my birth and it is a pride to call "Deccan Queen" something which we don't get by attaching "Express" to it....that's the magic DQ carries.

Also it would travel via pune which is a diesel track pune onwards.
Hence there is no way it would be hauled by a WAP-7.
Please post blogs sensibly.......saying whatever comes to your mind is not going to work here.

Re# 83763-9              
Theoretically, 9 hrs is is enough to cover this much distance, but practically it is not possible.There are number of reasons for that.
1.This train covers most of its journey on single line diesel track, so it has to wait number of times for crossing.
2.Locomotive change is needed at Pune.Hence some time goes here also.
3.Even though it is non stop, technical stoppages

are there for every duronto for loco. change, crew change, loading food, etc.
Hence, as compared to other trains on this route which take a minimum of 13.35 hrs, this train would take 12 hrs.
AND.....source of my info. is Trains At A Glance 2010-11.
