Why did the ER slow down the Legendary 12344 Dn Darjeeling Mail and 12378 Dn Padatik SF Express? For about 5 to 10 minutes. They should continue Padatik SF at its old schedule. For NJP 20:45 arrival and 21:00 departure and SDAH 6:45, they can easily speed up this train by 25-30 minutes. The same goes for the Legendary Darjeeling Mail, NJP - 19:10 arrival and 19:30 departure and SDAH 5:00 AM.

Always Darjeeling Mail arrived in Bwn between 3:00 to 3:10 AM, but after that it should get more priority so that it can arrive in Sealdah at 5:00 AM. And at Gour Malda, it always arrives 25-30 minutes earlier, so Malda Town can be 11:00 to 11:10 AM. Then, this train will take 9:15 minutes between NJP to SDAH.

Agreed, DM and Padatik can both be speed up by 30-40 minutes. They are both popular trains and the first choice for all travelers on the NJP to SDAH route.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
