Re# 1717896-63              
Sir bsb has always been in political controversies especially when it comes to railways. So many trains from bsb were extended unnecessarily to Bihar which made BSB seat allocation fall in other quotas than GNWL. BSB, being the most important city of UP considering its tourism importance has more demands to any corner of India than any other city of U.P. But at the same time rerouting sdah raj via bsb seems absolutely mindless decision because just for 10 seats IR is trolling end to end travelers. Rather introducing trains and diverting trains via/from bsb IR should first concentrate on improving infrastructure as a Rajdhani route and then start one dedicated rajdhani type train from BSB to NDLS and other part of countries.

WAIT OVER guys here comes FULL SPEED MAHAMANA EXPRESS on Your SCREEN from SULTANPUR.
INAUGURAL RUN: Full Speed Mahamana SF Express with innovative coaches flagged off by PM
YT- click here
My Video Says:-
22417
...

Mahamana Express skipps bandhua kalan at 110 kmph on its first run with innovative coaches which was made by the Carriage Rehabilitation Workshop Bhopal.
This train got named as "MAHANAMA" on behalf Late Madan Mohan Malaviya ji (1861–1946), The name Mahamana, is after social activist Madanmohan Malviya, co-founder of the Banaras Hindu University and popularly called Mahamana or a “great human being”. The name was chosen by Minister of State for Railways Manoj Sinha, an alumnus of the BHU.
Narendra Modi flagged off the 18-coach “Mahamana Express”, which will run at top speed of 110 kmph covering the distance of 774 kmph between Varanasi & Delhi thrice a week via Lucknow in 13 hours 50 mins.
About its coach:-
This project, to redesign the interiors of the passengers coaches in Indian Railways, was started in 2011. The Carriage Rehabilitation Workshop of the Railways in Bhopal has finalised the “model rake” which was converted into this train. Production of more such rakes is far away but at least this one train will boast of the new features for now.
Work of development of model rakes with enhanced amenities and improved interiors for Rs 31.5 cr will ultimate see 111 coaches ( 87 non AC coaches, 17 coaches for AC 3 tier, five for AC 2 tier and one each for AC 1 tier and chair car coaches) rolling out in 2016-17. Internally, they are also code-named “World Class interiors”
About 87 coaches are planned to be turned out in 2016-17 under the existing contract, which means about three trains. The rake on display is called a model rake because this is the design that will be replicated with changes and tweaks, if any. These are refurbished coaches, which means ordinary existing coaches have been taken and these changes made in them, which is the job of the workshop in Bhopal.Train passengers between the Capital and Varanasi, now better known as the Prime Minister’s constituency, will be the first to enjoy what is being touted as the first major upgrade in facilities and design in a passenger train in India.
Narendra Modi flagged off the 18-coach “Mahamana Express”, which will run at top speed covering the distance between the two cities thrice a week via Lucknow in 14 hours. The name Mahamana, is after social activist Madanmohan Malviya, co-founder of the Benaras Hindu University and popularly called Mahamana or a “great human being”. The name was chosen by Minister of State for Railways Manoj Sinha, an alumnus of the BHU.
For the refreshed interiors loaded with more ease of use, Railways has decided to charge 15 per cent more than the usual fare for Mahamana Express. The approval to jack up the fare for this train was received from the PMO before the flagging off was organised. Interestingly,
Much has been written about the improved facilities. This project, to redesign the interiors of the passengers coaches in Indian Railways, was started in 2011. The Carriage Rehabilitation Workshop of the Railways in Bhopal has finalised the “model rake” which was converted into this train. Production of more such rakes is far away but at least this one train will boast of the new features for now.Work of development of model rakes with enhanced amenities and improved interiors for Rs 31.5 cr will ultimate see 111 coaches ( 87 non AC coaches, 17 coaches for AC 3 tier, five for AC 2 tier and one each for AC 1 tier and chair car coaches) rolling out in 2016-17.

Hello All,
.
Agree, NDLS-CNB-ALD-MGS is heavily congested. no doubt in that.
.
But,
Diverting
...
more...
RAJDHANIs is not an easy and one task. a lot is to be calculated such as overtakes which would certainly disturb other trains. etc
.
PS : NDLS-CNB-ALD-MGS is/wud b completely automatic signalling and also, talks are their to monitor non stop trains thru satellite 4m TDL and RURA.
.
RAJDHANIs stop only on CNB and MGS (some at ALD too).
however NDLS-LKO-MGS wud add 3 stops as MB, LKO and BSB. quite time wasting isnt it ?
.
ceratin parts of GZB-MB-LKO is 100kmph and making it 130kmph isnt a easy task and a lot wud be invested in infrastructure.
also note certain part of LKO-BSB is still single. again a obstacle.
.
merely for BSB (which is just 18kms to travel MGS which 24hr connected and metro being planned), RAJDHANIs being diverted sud certainly BIG NO !
.
Please note SDAH raj was via CNB-LKO-BSB but later on it was made via ALD. however to compensate that DBRG Raj via LKO were introduced.
.
PS lets ignore print media bcoz they print d moment they hear a MASALA e.g. NDLS-GKP shat, GKP-ALD DD and POLITICS-useless to say Bhopal's model rake makes run BSB-NDLS Mahanama via LKO :o and 12581/82 dat too via ALD-CNB :o introducing consecutive year.
.
my take
1. if required certain less MPS trains can be diverted.
2. stop introducing political trains on NDLS-CNB e.g 12581/82 (although am regular pax of it :p)
.
Thanks
.
