1) When it's 1 o' clock by your watch in the noon.
2) You are standing at a station in HB chord or HBC connector from Howrah.
3) You start hearing loud EMD horns & jet engines echoing all around (from BWN end) :P
These symptoms indicate only one thing: SHAN - E - NFR !!!

What do you mean by 'your shatabdi'? Its not his shatabdi. And regarding the 'fastest diesel hauled shatabdi', the blogger here means the 130 mps of this train which is achieved by an EMD, whereas for 12025/26, its just 110!! A matter of MPS and not E2E average.

Very well done 👍👍👍
New work..

After back to back sketches of diesel trains, I tried an electric. The overhead catenary jungle is too irritating to the eyes!

the New Jalpaiguri - Howrah Shatabdi Express, zipping past Prantik.
I clicked this during my visit to Shantiniketan back in August.

Once this used to be the fastest diesel hauled train of India, with an average running speed of 72km/h and the first diesel train to touch a speed of 130km/h. Now on electric, it lost its uniqueness. Never mind, they call it development.

Pardon any mistakes.

JAT Humsafar drops its occupancy due to the silly schedule provided. Speed it up by 2-3 hours then see the demand. No one wants to get stranded @JAT midnight, specially when travelling to SVDK.
Since Humsafar warrants excess fare, then the services should atleast be good enough right?

Re# 6057121-12              
15% higher fare is not the problem.
Slot and slow TT can be a reason.
Still not enough reason.
This Duronto should be restored to old TT and at NDLS. If NDLS is congested then dump at GGN/ or suitable NCR stn within Greater Delhi.

Extension to SVDK is a great idea. We still dont have any direct connectivity to Katra apart from super mega crawler 13151 that too Jat. 22317 HS is a weekly train with very slow route and poor timings

Sorry for the late reply. Poore Mahine Touring mein Busy tha. 🙏🏻🫡
This route is not worth a Duronto. The entire Staff has to stay in a Dharamshala in Bikaner on Wednesday because Train which arrives on Tuesday Evening departs on Thursday Afternoon.
I've talked to Staff. Only one 2A Coach was filled and 2-3 3A Coaches. Most of them for New Delhi itself, rarely someone traveling to Sealdah, Dhanbad or Kanpur from extended portion.
