There ain't enough trains going to LDH/Ludhiana on the ROK-JIND-JHL-DUI route, so JIND/Jind Jn should definitely get a stopover for this train. And while we're at it, the 12421/22 NED-ASR-NED weekly train should also make a pit stop at JIND.

Jaise hi ROK-JIND-JHL-DUI route pe LDH/Ludhiana jaane wale train ki kami hai, vaise hi JIND/Jind Jn ko is train ka rukav hona chahiye.

Iske saath hi 12421/22 NED-ASR-NED saptahik train ko bhi JIND mein rukna chahiye.

Bilaspur Rajdhani desperately needs a stop at Agra Cantt because the Chhattisgarh and Kalinga Utkal routes are the worst. They are always delayed and have too many stops. It's hard to understand. Another weekly train is Jammu Tavi - Durg and Udhampur - Durg. Both of these trains have waitlists, so Rajdhani Express should definitely be allotted a stop by NR (Northern Railways). Bilaspur Rajdhani belongs to NR.

Ayyo bro, LHB coach is headin' to Badgam, prolly for Srinagar Rajdhani.

Lhb coach Badgam ki taraf ja raha hai, shayad Srinagar Rajdhani ke liye.

I dunno why NWR ain't paying attention to this train, man. This train's got 3 classes: Second sitting, AC Chair Car, and 3AC. Second sitting might be in the waitlist all year, but even after that, I'm sure this train gets hella unreserved folks from all the stations on the way, to the point where it's way over capacity for second sitting. AC Chair Car and 3AC are always kind of waitlisted, man. With all this going on, it should've gotten some fancy LHB coaches a long-ass time ago, but NWR just ain't giving this train any priority, dude. And even if it does get LHB, I ain't too sure if NWR is gonna be chill enough to give it nice coaches. They'll probably just give it some old, beat-up LHB coaches. This train deserves some shiny new LHB coaches, bro, along with speeding up. Once it gets going faster, this train can leave from SGNR/Shri Ganganagar a bit later than it does now and still reach DLI/Delhi Junction at the same time, 'cause it's a pain to change schedules at any of the terminals in Delhi.

Mujhe nahi pata ki NWR is train ko kyun nazar andaz kar raha hai.

Is train mein 3 classes hai: Second sitting, AC Chair Car aur 3AC.
Second sitting poori saal mein waiting list mein reh sakti hai ya nahi, lekin uske baad bhi main sure hoon ki is train par itne saare bina reservation wale log aate hai ki second sitting ki capacity bahut jyada exceed ho jati hai.
AC Chair Car aur 3AC poori saal mein waiting list mein rehte hai.

Is haalat mein pehle hi LHB coaches mil jana chahiye the, lekin is train ke itne saalon ke chalne ke baad bhi NWR ne isko preference nahi diya hai.

Aur agar LHB coaches mil bhi jaye, toh mujhe yakeen nahi hai ki NWR itni generous hoga is train ke saath, kyunki shayad purane aur kharab LHB coaches mil jaye.

Is train ko toh chamakdar naye paint wale LHB coaches aur tez karne ki zaroorat hai.

Agar speed up ho jaye toh yeh train SGNR/Shri Ganganagar se abhi ke samay ke baad kuch der baad chal sakti hai aur DLI/Delhi Junction tak abhi pahunch rahi hai, kyunki Delhi ke kisi bhi terminal mein samay badalna mushkil hota hai.

Yo, I hopped on this train from JIND to JRC/Jalandhar Cantt the day after New Year's on January 2, 2024. I headed to the station at around 16:55. When I got there, I got myself an unreserved ticket for ₹110 (didn't bother to check the cost of reserved classes since it was a spontaneous plan). As I walked into the station, I spotted a bunch of people waiting for the 20410/Bathinda-Delhi SF on PF#1. Since I was in a hurry, I darted towards the pedestrian bridge 'cause there was a freight train on PF#2. The scheduled arrival/departure of this train at JIND/Jind Jn was supposed to be at 12:27/12:29. But on that day, it was running late and arrived/departed at 17:25/17:30, which means it was delayed by over 5 hours when it left JIND. Before this, when I checked the time-table of this train (here on IRI), I noticed that it had a Remote Location Quota at JIND, which surprised me. My doubts were cleared when I reached PF#4, where the train was supposed to arrive, and saw a massive crowd waiting for it, even with the huge delay of around 5 hours. Some people had been there since around 11:00, which sadly meant they had been chilling at the station for about 6 hours (Note: We don't trust NTES 'cause we usually check it before leaving home, but not everyone does). I chatted with a few peeps, and they told me they came from their village, which was about 30 km away from the station. So, it surprised me that they didn't check NTES. But I decided to keep my mouth shut 'cause I wasn't in the mood to start trouble by questioning them. I actually wanted to get off at PGW/Phagwara Jn itself, but this train skipped it at full speed, so I couldn't. I had to travel all the way to JRC/Jalandhar Cantt, where the train finally arrived at 22:30, and then catch a bus back. It wasn't a big deal 'cause the bus stand is right there, where the buses stop to head back towards PGW. I was a bit disappointed because I hopped onto a Himachal RTC bus (can't remember if the ticket cost ₹30 or ₹40), and I ended up getting overtaken by a Haryana Roadways bus from the Sonipat Depot 😂. I didn't wanna wait for the next bus 'cause it was already around 22:45. Conclusion: 1. If the train doesn't stop at PGW/Phagwara Jn, get off at JRC/Jalandhar Cantt and come back by bus. 2. Always go for Haryana Roadways 😂😂 if you're traveling during the day. 3. This route needs more LDH-ASR/JAT trains 'cause there's a Remote Location Quota first at DSJ/Delhi Safdarjung and then just 2 hours (1 hr 56 min to be precise) later at JIND.

Maine is train mein safar kiya JIND se JRC/Jalandhar Cantt tak, naye saal ke dusre din yaani 2 January 2024. Station ke liye main @16:55 par nikla. Jab main station pahucha, maine bina reserved ticket kiye khareeda jo mujhe ₹110 ka pada (reserved classes ke daam jaanne ka time nahi tha kyunki ye ek achanak ka plan tha). Jab main station mein enter kiya, maine dekha ki 20410/Bathinda-Delhi SF train ke liye PF#1 par ek accha crowd tha. Main jaldi mein tha, isliye main sidhe paidal pul ki taraf bhaga kyunki PF#2 par ek freight train khadi thi. Is train ka samay yahan JIND/Jind Jn par aane/utarne ka 12:27/12:29 baje tha. Us din train der se aayi/utri, yani 17:25/17:30 baje, iska matlab ye tha ki JIND se jaane ke time par wo 5 ghante se jyada der se chali gayi thi. Jab maine pehle is train ka time-table dekha tha (IRI par), mujhe yahan JIND par Remote Location Quota hai ye thoda ajeeb laga. Mere shankas door hue jab main PF#4 par pahucha, jahan yeh train aani thi, aur maine dekha ek badi bheed wahan ye train ka intezaar kar rahi hai, jabki train bahut der se thi, karib 5 ghante se late. Kuch log wahan 11:00 baje se bhi the, yeh dukhad baat hai kyunki matlab unhone station par 6 ghanto tak baithe rahe the (Note: Ham NTES ko kam samjhte hai kyunki hum ghar se station ki taraf nikalne se pehle usko check kar lete hai, lekin sab log aisa nahi karte). Maine kuch logon se baat ki aur unhone bataya ki woh apne gaon se aaye the jo station se karib 30 km door tha, isliye mujhe thoda ajeeb laga ki unhone NTES nahi check kiya, lekin maine chup rehne ka faisla kiya kyunki mujhe unse ye puchhna mann nahi tha ki "Jale pe namak chhidakna". Mujhe toh PGW/Phagwara Jn par hi utar jaana tha, lekin afsos ki ye train ne use mps par chhod diya aur main nahi utar saka. Mujhe poori raat JRC/Jalandhar Cantt tak jaana pada, jahan ye train 22:30 baje pahunchi, fir mujhe bus se wapas aana pada. Koi problem nahi thi kyunki bus stand bas wahi bahar tha jahan bus wapis jaane ke liye rukti hai PGW ki taraf. Mujhe dukh hua ki maine ek Himachal RTC bus mein sawar hokar chadh gaya tha (bus ka ticket ₹30/₹40 tha, sahi yaad nahi), aur mujhe ek Haryana Roadways bus (Sonipat Depot ki) ne piche chhod diya😂 kyunki main agli bus ka intezaar karne ka faisla nahi liya tha kyunki karib 22:45 baje tha. Nateeza: 1. Agar train PGW/Phagwara Jn par rukti nahi hai, to JRC/Jalandhar Cantt par utar jao aur bus se wapas aao. 2. Hamesha din mein safar karne ke liye Haryana Roadways ki bus ka intezaar karo😂😂. 3. Is route par LDH-ASR/JAT trains ki zaroorat hai kyunki pehle DSJ/Delhi Safdarjung par Remote Location Quota hai aur bas 2 ghante (aur bilkul sahi tareekh bataye toh 1 ghante 56 minute) ke baad wahan JIND mein hai.
