Anand Vihar (T) - Kolkata (Weekly) SF Summer Special/03126

Great report for travellers

special treatment.

Bihar-UP bhai-bhai :p
waise IR mein Bihar-UP nahi hota,hote hai divisons...MGS-ALD-CNB route falls under the jurisdiction of NCR Allahabad Divison and the problem with this divison is very high congestion and aggressive schedule of most of the pax trains..Triple Line must be laid..

actually congestion is due to the junction of mumbairoute& delhi route at allahabad n it continues till mughalsarai...secondly railways don't give preference to holiday specials at the cost of regular trains...so i would advice u to keep these holiday specials a last option while booking tickets

Yes. Had seen it at Gobra today.

just 5 min ago. i seen at dos.

Thanks. The train was delayed today. I was returning from Janai Road and the train suddenly cruised past us. All that I could see it was a G-7. Shed and Road Number were not distinguishable at such high speed.

Train has not started its run yet.
It should take the BWN-BDC-BP Route.

train directly halts at BWN after KOAA.
Does it really matter for a passenger whether oit is via DKAE or via BDC?

Do not know about other passengers, but it does matter to me. I can get down at BDC if it stops...by chance!!!

try booking in IRCTC.. if it is showing in IRCTC then booking might have not opened yet..

but 3AC showing wl-8, it means booking is already open.

great indian railway is running summer special in winters too. this will be puja/diwali special

these shd be vacation spcl, so will be running any vacation :-))

This isnt summer special , its peak season special run to cater to rush of peak season.

Absolutely correct .. Its run in all peak seasons as special.

sir ,But earlier , say 20 min. ago it is written as Delhi Anand Vihar(T) - Kolkata (Weekly) SF summer Special/03126

What is the use to convert it to GR? That too, trains reaching KOAA are famous for their empty runs.

Yes spl trains runs late, becoz it will wait for all the regular trains to pass through. Priority is for Regular trains.

actual arrival time in dli stn from past few days of 03125 train

Around 9hrs late..!!

Yes it usually comes late to delhi; last year before durga puja i had to board this train to calcutta. It arrived late and departed at 20:30.To make matters worse no proper update was available on platform also.He kept on announcing that the train is under technival check. It took 2 hrs to complete the process.

I must admit that although it started late and reached Mugal sarai at 10 am. But afer that it had non stop run till dhanbad skipping even gaya

video of that non stop journey

but train has stoppage at sasaram , Dehri-on-sone,gaya , koderma & gomoh

today 03126 is running 11 hrs late, just crossed sasaram
