All trains running with more than 2 hours delay in ET-BPL section. Any problem? Even SBC Raj is running with delay. Thanks.

***GT badly need TT slot change***
How many trains will overtake GT if its delayed by more than 30 Mins in NCR zone. Die to many trains overtake it reaches NDLS with over 2 Hrs delay.
Yesterday Goa SF, TN, 12171 & 12409 overtook GT.
Today Goa SF, TN & 12409 overtook GT.
GT is slowly and steadily loosing its fame.
The problem with GTs punctualty goes for a toss in NCR section where it has a very aggressive schedule coupled with more number of stops.
If you look at TN & GT running time between...

JHS & NDLS, TN just takes 5 mins less than GT with 5 stops lesser than GT.
Also GT stops for 5 Mins at GWL, AGC & MTJ.
The problem is even if GT gets delayed by more than 30 Mins after JHS due to Goa SF and TN closely following GT was made to halt and give way for other SF trains.
Stops such as Morena, Dholpur, Raja Ki Mandi should be removed between JHS & NZM.
Also GT should be made to start 30 Mins earlier from MAS to reach NDLS 30 mins earlier so that it can save another 20 mins for SBC Raj overtake which can be used as buffer for mainitaining punctuality. Thanks.

Re# 728130-1                  
Agree that GT is slowly losing its sheen, but do not agree with TT change (leaving 30 mins early @ MAS) because 1915 hours is a very comfy time, the 30 mins will make hectic for pax and it will make them huff and puff in the maddening rush hour traffic. Of course 1915 also is rush hour but they have a breathing space there. Maybe, as you said, these old in-between small stoppages can be removed.

Re# 728130-2                  
Habibganj (Bhopal), Raja ki Mandi (Agra) and Bellampalli in the up direction must be removed. What's the point in having 2 halts within the same city for a SF train like GT?
New slot for 12615 GT :-
MAS 18.30 (dep)
NDLS 05.00 or 05.10 (arr)
-------
12616 GT :-
NDLS 19.00 (dep)
MAS 05.30 (arr)

Re# 728130-3                  
Similarly for TN Express, Itarsi should be removed. So many trains are there between ET and MAS (including those trains which are coming from UP, Bihar). Also, hardly anyone boards TN from ET. Removal of ET won't make any difference to TN. When trains like AP Express can skip ET (another highly prestigious train like TN) why not TN? TN has a 10 minutes long halt at BPL for crew change.
New slot for 12622 TN :-
NDLS 23:00
MAS 06.30
----------
12621 TN :-
MAS 22.30
...
Read more...
NDLS 06.00
---------
Also, SBC Rajdhani's arrival timing should be 06.00 at NZM instead of 05.50.
If this is followed, TN's delays (especially due to overtakes) can be reduced easily.

RKM Won't be Deleted. RKM Lies in The center of the city better connectivity to each and every corner.. Even If Trains are introduced without Halt at Raja Ki Mandi then also Some times later it is Added.. and B.t.W it's just 1 min Halt so not that Problem with that.

i'd just like to add, that probably the Loco should be changed from WAP-4 to WAP-7, to cater the aggressive schedule it have

RO: Fine, we will provide GT sf, which has all d qualities which u are looking. Like more stoppages- jerks , jakkaas ( hijraas) are full in this train for entertine, and all types of AC composition with big pantry.
God: Ho really man is grate, thank u .. Lets sanction this train to deva loak immediately with out pending and delay.

Consesion on advanced booking? .
If fare is 4000 rs. Interest @2 rs per 100rs equals to 80 rs on fare. 120 days advanced booking accumulating to 320 rs interest. For a family with six people this goes to 1900 rs.
Huge loss to travelers huge profit to IR.
Atleast pantry food should be provided at gree of cost to the advanced booking holders.

Is it possible to replace the HCPV of this train with a 3A or SL coach to make it a proper 24 coach train? In that case, TN's halt at ET can be withdrawn.
