I remember the days when this train was meant as an exclusive overnight connection for Agra, Mathura with Allahabad (Prayagraj). Especially helpful for people visiting Allahabad High Court.
When it got extended to Jaipur, this is EXACTLY what I feared.
Extend it to Sri Ganganagar or Bikaner or Jodhpur or Hisar or Barmer or Ajmer or wherever they want.
And since apparently everyone wants...
more... to go to Kolkata, merge it with some Kolkata based train or extend this one to Kolkata 🤨🧐
What happens to the original public between Mathura, Agra and Allahabad (Prayagraj) ??? NO ONE CARES
Cities like Firozabad, Etawah etc. have almost full slots without a decent number of actually useful train halting. Their Curse ? Being on Highly Important Line. In the name of speed these stations get ignored and the same train stops at Churu, Sri Dungargarh and wherever politicians like it to.
What's more sad ?? There are ACTUAL Railfans here supporting this practice and even recommending more grave measures.
