Indore-Mumbai Central AC Duronto Express/12228

I agree with you. It would definitely get more patronage as an AC Express.

nice...

very nice capture

one great from i really loves indore video

Brilliant shot
Nice to see this train with WAP5

Lovely video of Duranto express

nice , first time seeing wap-5 in indore ..

There are only Two Trains in Indore which are getting 3 Phase Locomotives on Regular Basis-:
1.12416-15 Nzm-Indb-Nzm Indore Intercity Express--GZB WAP7.
2.12227-28 Bct-Indb-Indb Duronto Express--BRC WAP5.
other than this only avantika express has been spotted by me for three times with BRC WAP5,rather than this none of the express from Indore gets 3Phase loco on regular basis,even some gets WAG5/WAG7 as the loco link and only ET WAM4 can only seen at Indore.WAPs are for only some limited express.

I think its tough.

You can go ahead Anand Ji RAC Looks sure if not confirm also...Else give a look in to tatkal also CKWL# 20 / WL# 16,recently on Apr 23rd BCT-JP Duronto had a BX1 so that one could be there in this one also since both have RSA.

Go ahead will confirm

Going by the cancellation pattern,chances of at least an RAC is 95%

Already down by one :)

thanx... going down faster than expected

Down to 16 now..seems that if its goes by this rate might as well could get confirmed before charting :)

Thankyou but this is almost 1 year ago ,, but why does it have a technical halt at Ujjain? Electrification is complete from Ujjain-Indore also....

It has a technical halt to deboard me :-) :-) Ujjain is my hometown :-D

Of course you can deboard at BRC or any technical halt.
But I am confused for covering a short BCT-BRC journey (for which you have numerous options), why would you pay worth a bomb (INR 1050+ for 3AC)?

Amul livery ..are their other such liveries..I remember Bharti cement,Mysore Sandal ,TMB,Pataka..

When the Loco is white - it means Milk and when the loco turns brown which in the case of IR is very much expected it would denote the Badam Milk sold by Amul.Start giving the Locos a wash you guys!!!! I see leaking pipes and valves anyhow at major stations so why not use it to wash them!!!

Those are for trains Sir. This one is for loco. Also add LIC, NSE, Lokmangal, Karur Vysya Bank...

Honda Dream Yuga tooo...!!

Look at the Locomotives from Northern America and Europe,they look so clean and yeah may be they don't get as much dust as we get in here but that's no excuse!!!

I was thinking that you will write about Lokmangal...:)

Proof! :P

Indrayani Express too!! /blog/post/717366

Nice pic..

This should be made an ac express with halts at borivali, surat, vadodara, ratlam, nagda, ujjain and dewas. May give it a better patronage.

They can reduce 3 AC coaches

The WR should include 2 Sleeper Class coaches instead of 2 3A coaches in this train as on the same days (Thur and Sat) Avantika runs with all the Side Lower Seat Nos 31,39,47,55,63,71 as RAC from Coaches S1-S11. That means 11 coaches and 12 RAC passengers per coach that is 132 passengers in RAC. Hence if they Add the Duronto Sleeper coaches it has better options of getting good patronage.

reduction of number of coaches generally does not help to reduce cost of engine though there may be an exception- if number of engine is reduced after reduction of coaches. Expenditure behind engine is much higher than a coach. New commercial stoppages are needed for this train. stoppages at Surat, Vadodora, Ratlam, Ujjain are needed.

they should reduce coaches

sleeper coaches can be added
