101/102 is Howrah Rajdhani
103/104 is Poorva Express via Patna(Back then it was fully AC and used to run till Amritsar)
161/162 is TATA JAT Express (Used to run only till Amritsar)
87/88 is South Bihar (Used to run only till Tatanagar)
81/82 is Poorva Express via Gaya(Back then it was fully AC and used to run till Amritsar)
13/14 is Upper India
7/8 is Toofan (Used to run only till Delhi)
1/2 is Netaji(Howrah Kalka Mail)
No idea about 39/40 HWH DLI Janta Express and 11/12 HWH DLI Express

Synopsis:
Howrah Rajdhani was 50 minutes faster then, used to take 16:25 hours from HWH to NDLS. This pic should be tweeted to Railway Minister, DRM HWH and should be asked why today it takes 50 minutes extra. Again what is the use of WAP-7, LHB and 130 MPS when WDM, ICF Rake and 110 MPS was far superior.
Are we even living in modern age when trains are being slowed down.
Poorvas, TATA JAT are speeded up, Netaji(HWH KLK) is massively speeded up but 12312 is massively slowed down and South Bihar also is massively slowed down between Tatanagar and Patna.
Toofan, Upper India, HWH DLI Janta & HWH DLI Express are permanently cancelled.

173/174 is Himgiri
51/52 is KOAA JAT Express (Terminal at that time was Sealdah)
49/50 is HWH ASR Express
27/28 is Maurya (Used to run between Dhanbad and Muzzafarpur)
9/10 is Doon Express
5/6 is HWH ASR (Punjab) Mail
No idea about 61/62 HWH DDN J.Express

Synopsis:
Himgiri has the most disastrous slow down in the History of Indian Railways by more than 9 hours. Its really hard to believe that even MB-LKO-SLN-BSB route used to so fast back then.
KOAA JAT Express is slowed down massively by 2 hours.
Maurya is extended and Dhanbad is given a very inconvenient timings. Injustice done with DHN.
For Doon no significant change in timings but injustice done with Dehradun by changing Terminal to YNRK.
HWH ASR Mail slowed down by 1:15 hours.
HWH ASR Express is permanently cancelled.
