There are some legendary trains (only M/E category incl. SF, No Durontos/GRs/Raj/Sh plz) between two pair of stations, which are likely to remain so in long time to come, which remain favourite and ^^^^first choice amongst^^^ passengers and railfans alike, due to their shortest route, convenient timings and maybe easy thro' connections. The newer or other trains have not been able to dent their popularity a bit, e.g Mandore vs, Raj SK. Remember, these two stations have other pairs of M/E trains between them too..!
