India is way behind China in terms of railways. Anyone thinking that we can match them in railways is fooling himself. They are already running high speed bullet trains while we are only just getting started. As the RM said in the article, our budgetary allocation is a mere fraction of what the Chinese invest and that too, goes into running of poorly planned trains[for election purposes] or combating accidents[that have proliferated recently].

We first ran trials for 160 kmph capable trains back in the 60s but it took us more than 50 years to get it running. Howrah Rajdhani still follows approx. the same time table as when it was introduced. We barely did anything in the 70s and 80s in terms of railway improvements. China, economicallly, was worse than us till the 70s but they rose meteorically after that.

Re# 2156485-44              
Ah, finally they gave a train for LKO-RNC. But, I still think that it won't work; this route needed a normal express train[with GN+SL+AC coaches]; by providing a AC special fare, they are just making it tougher to get passengers for themselves. A lot will depend on the demand, but a full AC train is tough to fill on this route[LKO-BCT AC only recently got a full AC train].

Journey from KGP to LKO via HWH
Date of Journey:30 Nov 2016
I boarded PRR-HWH Exp from KGP. It was running 15 mins late. Got a nice window seat to myself[had it reserved]. The train flew by the intermediate stations before being trolled in the SRC HWH stretch[PS KGP also has WiFi by Railwire now]. Reached HWH 30 mins late at 1145 hrs
On
...
more...
reaching HWH had a nice meal at KFC. My train Kumbha Exp was running 2 hrs late[RT is 1300 hrs]. I thought of checking into the cloak room but it took much time. Decided to wait in the upper class waiting room[it wasn’t that great. The anenties are avg, no AC was working, you do get a nice view of HWH bridge though]. Back to the PF at 1500 hrs[my train was scheduled to depart at 1600 hrs now]. Saw a Shatabdi[NJP one I guess]. HWH has a pathetic wifi system[the old 30 mins one, didn’t even work correctly]. Finally my train arrived. I had a Window seat in 3A but someone else[she had the middle berth] was occupying the window seat. I had to show my god damn ticket to claim my seat. Eitherways the train started running with only a brief unscheduled stop between HWH and ASN. At ASN, 12301 OT us via the adjacent PF. I was feeling sleepy so went to sleep. Woke up at 0030 hrs to see my train entering PNBE.Went back to sleep before waking at 0700 hrs to find ourselves in the MGS-BSB stretch. Went back to sleep. Woke up to find myself in the dense fog at Jaunpur. Went back to sleep. Woke at 1030 hrs when train was few km behind Sultanpur. Did footplating then for the next 3 hrs upto LKO. Xing with Begumpura at Nihalgarh. LKO outers trolled us for 30+ minutes. Reached LKO at 1445 hrs with a delay of ~7 hrs.
Photos shall be uploaded soon.

Edit:Photos are up. I would have uploaded them in a single thread but IRI on mobile kinda sucks in terms of stability.
