Grand Trunk (GT) Express/12616

location ?was GT running late?

GT was running on diverted route.
location: between Bhusaval and Khandwa

tabhi may sochu ki pushpak kaise overtake kr sakti hai GT ko

All good things come to an end.
I guess slowly and steadly, the glorious days of GT are getting over

pushpak is one of the most getting priority train....this was to happen
when pushpak and GT meet definately this only happens :)

arre yaar, !!
diverted route mein jaayenge toh obviously yeh sab common hain!!
Uploader ji shayad yeh pata nei hoga!!

jo hua..... but GT ki kirkiri ho gayi. hahaha :P

Arey pushpak waise bhi kafi encounter karti LKO se MuMbaI tak ke safar me...

bhai log, overtake iz an overtake .... ab wo diverted route pe ho, ya main route pe ..... agar mumbai rajdhani ko is route se divert kiya jaaye .... to pushpak ya koi bhi train usse overtake nahi karegi .... just for example.

abhi Tamilnadu ki kirkiri dekhna baki hai.... wo bhi freight train se :) :-)

accha hai route divert hai
wrna GT Roz overtake hoti aise he :D

pushpak k records me bahut overtakes hai
NER ki JAAAN hai but CR me bhi tehelka machati hai

GT and TN ke rakes are the worst one
purane ho chuke hai sab
par koi badalne wala nahi

Rahul Bhai Kuch baatein spano main hi acchi lagti hain :p

So
Finally two legends face to face
Nice video
Thanx for sharing

sapna nahi hakikat... aap khud dekh lo... hahahaha :-))

Yeh to dekh liya; main TN ki baat kar raha tha.

ye dekho... TN ki kirkiri... :-))

TN ka record tod nahi sakti pushpak TN to SR ki hoke bhi jitne zone aate hain sabmai tehelka machati hai

haan dekha tha.... kaise TN ki taaye taaye fiss ho gayi thi jab Vdisha me DEE-YPR Duronto ne usko overtake kiya tha.

lekin video may kahi per bhi nahi dikh raha hai ki ye jo trian khadi hai vo tamilnadu exp hai

Sahi yaar.
Tusi great ho. :p

duronto raj overtake kar bhi le to chalta hain lekin ko SF ise overtake nahi karti unless ye late chal rahi ho

indianrailwas is well known railfan with over 2000 RF videos under his belt. he roams all over india in trains. wo kya jhooth bolega?

lekin sir jab tak aap name board nahi dikhate mai nahi maan sakta ki ye tamilnadu exp hai nameboard hota to bhi mai maan leta

Are bhai log
Both t.n and pushpak are legands
Both do best in their journy
There is 2 hours+ time difrnc in both of them
And only a small part of their is same(et-jhs)
So y to feel

Now a days the rakes of g.t and t.n are not well maintained

ye sab shri shri param poojya indian railways ki kirkiri ka nateeja hai

mat mano. it is not possible to capture everything to prove correctness.

ye sab seection controllers ki lirkiri hai is me argument karne se koi fayda nahi hai jai ho IR ki

aur trains to tod sakti hain na ?

The mighty Pushpak... \m/ <3

A Rare video... :)

Late running TN has overtaken Pushpak between ET & BPL. Thanks.

see this..... TN overtaken by freight train.

I have seen that. Nothing wrong in getting overtaken rarely and also the author of the video mentioned as loco failure.
The probability of getting overtaken and overtaking other trains determines the priority of the train.
Today 12621 overtook both Mewar & Goa SF at MTJ. Both are popular trains running in their routes. Overtook 12405 & 22181. 4 SF overtakes between BPL & NZM. Departed 55 Mins late at MAS and reached BPQ 5 mins early with high Avg Speed.
Overtaking other trains by TN is normal day to day activity. Has more scheduled overtakes when compared to other SF and does more unscheduled overtakes when compared to other SF.

add gondwana exp also in that list

12405 is Gondwana. Few trains overtaken before BPL.
Yesterday Mumbai Raj was halted at MTJ and late running TN moved ahead. I have seen the same with Pune Duronto couple of times at MTJ. TN enjoys good priority on most of the days until and unless it is running with huge delay greater than 2 hours. Thanks.

TN is overtaken by sbc raj, and if it is running late then by ksk or ap otherwise no trians have such a schedule or priority to overtake TN

Couple of times AP overtook TN when TN was running late and AP on time. When AP delayed and running late again TN overtook AP.
Also YPR Duronto overtakes TN both ways. Thanks.

tamilnadu ki kirkiri karne ka intezaar to 11 zones ki trains kar rahi he but tn ki kirkiri kar paana muskil hi nahi namumkin he.,
tn rocks bhopal shatabdi socks

live ur dreams :)

Check TE of the train i mentioned. Its fact. Nothing fictious here to dream.

bhopal shatabdi cant overtook upper class trains like pune duronto, sc garibrath.

its fictitious only. TE data is not 100% accurate always. I myself have checked the accuracy. you travel in the train and then compare the data from TE. you will see the difference.

aisa nahi hai sahab. wo to dar ke mare koi premier train iske time slot me ati nahi hai warna uski bhi aisi taisi ho jaye.

Ya well, whatever makes you happy..

ye sab IR ki kripa ka parinam hai jo ab tak ise asli SF ka status rakha hua hai warna aap mail trians ko dekh lijiye kabhi sabse fast or high priority ki hoti thi lekin ab passenger ban k rah gayi hai mail trains

hahaha :p

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.

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)

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.

Looks cool to me. Thanks.

completely agree to your point
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

Today, neither Goa nor TN overtook GT while Gondwana closely followed it till NZM, but always trailed behind!!
GT arrived ET after Goa & trailed behind!!

Hilarious one. So, GT satistfies one and all. Thanks

Positively guffaw inducing.

Mumbai Howrah Mail via ALD ka v same haal hai....usko v nominate ki ja sakti hai..

With out delay and pending? . Delay and pending are the powerfull weapons of indian railways !!! .

did you take yesterday's train which arrived ndls today???

Its an old video :)

its a semi offlink ..

semi offlink ?

only shed is diff ... loco clas is same ,

Splendid night video Mr Fernandes.Looks as if its a CCTV footage:) But very clear.
Were you positioned on FOB?

great suggestion !!

Interest kuch jyada calculate kiya hai aapne.

on a serious note, the ones who book early should be considered first for upgradation...
