Hello Sir @ Entry 53343 . So what if Punjab Express has got 10 Halts . Inspite of this it still covers the 1800+ Distance between Calcutta & Amritsar in around 28 Hrs , which it would have covered even if it had run as a Duronto . Initially only 5 Technical Halts were planned for this train which were Dhanbad , Mughalsarai , Lucknow , Saharanpur and Ludhiana . Later when this train was demoted to a Normal "Superast" Train , then all these techies became commercial halts . Plus , Asansol was added & it preceeded Dhanbad . Then Gaya preceeded MGS . MB preceeded Saharanpur . Ambala Cantt preceeded Ludiana & finally Jalandhar City preceeded Amritsar . The No of halts multiplied from 5 to 10 . Just twice the no enroute . Inspite of all these challenges , incl loco change @ MGS & SHR , this... more...
train still covers it's journey in the original time if it's not late . Just wait till it's entire route becomes 100% Doubled & Electrified by 2011 . This train will tear the tracks & will become 1 of the most Rocking Non - Rajdhani/Duronto Trains of INDIAN RAILWAYS . Thank You .

These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
