why this train is being destroyed, it no longer feels like a duronto train. Skipping major cities and stopping at villages, some stops after Delhi should be removed and koderma don't deserve the stoppage. Stop ruining Kolkata trains.

I don't think so Koderma deserved a Duronto stoppage because Koderma already has stoppage of Bhubaneswar , Ranchi Rajdhani , Jharkhand SK. There MP should have demanded stoppage of Odisha SK instead of Duronto that would be a better decision

Because a New Mail/Superfast doesn't exactly give you much footage than having the honour of ruining a Perfectly well running Premium Fared Fully AC Duronto 😂 or even extending a required train at Adverse timing for a place like Rewa Vande Bharat resulting in poor occupancy.
Vindictive mindset is present in plenty here, granted.
Abandonment issues are plenty featuring Humsafar, Antyodaya, Uday and so on courtesy of poor planning and Idiotic Politics.

Very valid point Utkarsh. Extensions and inclusion of such stoppages are done with mischievous intent and scoring devious brownie points.
Achi train ko barbad karne ka mazza hi kuch aur hain...
Jis din 12301 ka PNME aur 12951 ka NAD ka halt mila tab se yeh badmasi pandemic ban gaya hain pure IR me.

Nagda halt of 12951 is purely to serve the Netaji there so that he could attend Lok Sabha Session in New Delhi as August Kranti Rajdhani's terminal Hazrat Nizamuddin would be "inconvenient" 😂
Even Gaya was temporarily given halt of Sealdah Duronto to serve an MP there for a particular session.
Ab Politicians ke paas taakat hai Premium Trains ko Roadways Bus bana ne ki toh hum kya hi kahenge.

if halting Sealdah Duronto at Koderma saves Howrah Rajdhani and Sealdah Rajdhani - I'd very much prefer the sacrifice. Hell, halt it at Sasaram, Phaphund, etc if at all needed.

Time to rename it as " Bikaner - Sealdah - Bikaner " AC Superfast Express as it no longer feels like a quality of a Duronto Express train.
