A year has passed, since the King of SER got toppled.

A year has passed, since a normal station was forever etched in infamy.
A year has passed, since the survivors had have painful memories etched into them permanently!

year has passed, hoping now that lessons learnt with blood are actually implemented.

Agree
Yup such things should never happen again . I feel sorry for 300 persons who lost their lives
I discussed the derailment issue with few persons with Railway working ( SM,Signal engineers and ALPs)
They also could not arrive at conclusion .How Coro LP got thru signal when Goods train was parked in main line . At the time of accident ,Coro was running at 128 kmh As soon as Signal was changed , green to red , LP applied brake and 2

coaches derailed jumped and coro Loco hit the goods train .
Coaches in behind fell on the down line .
The train going towards hwh ( banglore howrah )was Running at 116 kmh
This train was late by few hours and it crashed in to coaches with full speed .
were LP instructed to coverup delay ??( Such things are verbal )
Certain issue will never be brought out open so that IR can escape the responsibility of safety of passengers /crew lives

Note
Whenever. I travel,I pray to all the Gods for safety of train ,pax ,crew

A small correction.
As soon as the loco pilot pressed the emergency brake suddenly, due to high velocity of the train at 128kmph and suddenly emergency brake, the loco due to inertia of motion flied up and climbed over the freight train. As soon as the coupling with loco detached, there as a sudden jerk on LVPH Coach next to loco, it derailed and all subsequent coaches got derailed.
Train no 12864 was crossing at that point towards HWH, one of the derailed coaches of Coromondel hit the 2nd and

3rd GS coach towards the end of 12864. Due to the impact, the last 2 coaches (SLRD, GS coaches) of 12864 derailed and the 3rd coach from end was partially damaged. Due to presence of mind of locopilot of 12864, the loco pilot didn't pressed the emergency brake suddenly, so the rest of 12864 which was running at around 120kmph didn't got derailed at that spot.
Later at Balasore, the 3rd coach from end of 12864 was detached from rake. That GS coach is now at KGP workshop.

I've noticed that the composition for 12704 and 12703 don't seem to fit the norm. Ideally 12704 runs with CC -( ENG - EOG -GEN -H1- A1- A2- B1 - B2 -B3 - B4 -B5 -B6 - B7 - B8 - PC - S1 - S2 - S3 - S4 - S5 - S6 GEN - SLR - HCPV), undergoes Reversal at VSKP and continues to HWH. But 12703 runs with reverse composition as mentioned above, starting from HWH i.e S6 is at the start, when it should be the reverse .I've checked official sites and it seems like this is infact the case. Can anyone explain what is going on here? So does SRC CDO rearrange these coaches to be in this order? I've seen similar patterns happen to Chennai Mail and Coromandel, but not for SMVB HWH SF. I've want to confirm a lot of thoughts regarding SER and...

the way it handles things but wanted to confirm what's going on before I express them.
