Despite the UP train came 6+ hrs, This Down train departed today ontime! (the 20 min delay @KYN , I consider as ontime itself as last week this train was 4 hrs late.)

Re# 722297-52              
You have raised many valid points but I disagree on a few of them:
1) WR does a commendable job handling such a busy section (BRC-BCT) with just 2 tracks and meeting so many people's expectations. Every now and then, some mp/ politician from some intermediate station demands stop for premier trains. Latest example is Boisar.
August Kranti is a victim of this. Still, look at its average speed. This deserves a star (more than Mumbai Raj).
2)

more...
Secondly, CSTM deserves a Rajdhani for sure. No denying it. Infact, I would say, Mah SK should be run from CSTM so that atleast 5-6 stations from Maharashtra can be benifitted instead of the current 1 (BVI is Mumbai only).
3) My reply was to that poster saying why back in the days, Mumbai Raj was started from BCT and not CSTM. During that time, Mumbai- NDLS via MMR-BSL-ET was not as fast as today and would have taken 20+ hours. But, Rajdhani even then used to take 16+ hours only via BRC-KOTA.
4)Regarding NDLS Duranto, why are you blaming WR? It runs through NR/ WCR too, isn't it? With so much traffic ahead of it, still it does a commendable job. Throughout IR, there are many Durantos that take more time than normal SFE. So be it.

    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...
