BSB gaya tha last week kisi kaam se, Ald ke liye wapasi me koi train nahi mili khali to DDU aa gaya aur BGP-LTT mil gayee shaam ko lagbhag 6:30 baje. Good train. As there was many seats Vacant, I sat in SL on express SF general ticket till ACOI.
Baithe Baithe dost ke saath ye discussion chal pada ki ek taraf BGP-Kiul aur dusri taraf MKP-KTE elec naa hone ke karan ek train faltu me 1100-1200 km (BGP-ET) diesel ragad rahi hai. Fir one passenger from your region said that Kiul staff laziness for timely Loco change has forced many delhi bound trains from your region to run on d-loco wasting diesel till DDU and south/mumbai bound trains like this is...
more... wasting diesel because three loco changes (at Kiul, then DDU/ACOI, then again at KTE/JBP/ET) will waste a lot of time which railway will not allow even if staff at Kiul, ACOI etc agrees.
What you people think?? After Kiul-BGP elec completes in March BP Mail, V Shila will get loco from BGP only, but what will happen to trains like this viz bgp-ltt, bgp-surat, ghy-ltt, sanghmitra etc???
(Because MKP-KTE elec will take atleast 6-7 months to complete in best scenario)
