Railway ministry ab Tughlak chalata hai.. So anything can happen. Aaj purushottam toh kal Tamilnadu, Telangana, Coromandel , Geetanjali pe bhi Aisa news aa jaega..
Instead of making such benchmark why don't IR try to make this train more faster and then set on their benchmark(I know this is next to impossible, this is fastest train on its route)
Aram se 65 kmph pe jaa sakti hai Purushottam. Useless halts need to be removed. Abhi hi 60 se upar hai. Nandan Kanan, Odisha Sampark Kranti and Purushottam can retain SF tag even if the SF category goes to 65 kmph, abit speed up and schedule adjustment is the necessity.
Focus of any minister is to get appreciation for their work. If it is short term succes then it is their best chance to do so. So current RM is focused on launching VBs and doesn't bother other things. He might approve to degrade 12801for their purposes. There won't be any response even if we raise this question.
Taken some pics of today's RFanning along with my assistant from WFD and BYPL including some VBs and some new trains and already witnessed trains... do check them.... Bonus info:- Check the MAS MYS VB pic taken at WFD...ππ
Now if this get implemented, some kind shit everyone gonna face. Long queues in PRS counter on arrival of Purushottam Express, especially at ndls might be possible to take refund.
I am still hoping that even this happens, it should be for temporary basis. This train was started in around 92 by former RM CK Jaffer. Even though other train on similar route existed. But this was started as Superfast Train. Never happened in 25 years, will be going to happen soon. Just hope for good, and try to do things which can be possible. Like, talking to a society(purpose should match) who can request to zone and writing letters and all.
One last thing, IR will only face loss in revenue... more...
from this train and might lead to increased cost to IR if it delays too much.
I'm still crossing my fingers that if it does happen, it's only for a short time. This train was launched in '92 by the ex-Railway Minister CK Jaffer. Even though there were other trains on the same route, this one was labeled as a Superfast Train. It never happened in 25 years, but it might just happen soon. Let's stay positive and try to make things possible. We can try talking to a group (with the right intentions) that can appeal to the authorities by writing letters and such. One more thing, Indian Railways will lose money on this train and might end up costing more if there are more delays.
