Sad state of Duronto Express.

In my opinion, the eastern zones (esp NFR, SER, ECoR) need to really improve in terms of maintenance. Better maintained zones are SCR, WR, SWR, SR.

Re# 5992670-6              
Agree.. even ICF coaches are well maintained in the SR, WR.

SRC's maintenance is notorious. A premium train is fitted with an old coach which isn't maintenened as well.
This is my experience from last 14-15 years travelling in this route.

Re# 5992670-8              
A passenger train had detailed just leaving kotavalasa junction. 2 coaches and the loco seems to have snapped out of the track. No injuries or fatalities. 12703 was stuck at VZM for over an hour. 12245 reached VZM 25mins before and left at 10:20 before 12703. After kantakapalle there's a speedy restriction in place due to the derailment.. we however have crossed the site and moving as usual towards BZA

Why railways didn't give halt to this train at Katpadi? I see so many people from West Bengal ,Odisha coming for treatment at Christian Medical College and I see plenty of Bengali/Odia/Hindi signboards and their shops behind this hospital. Please give your suggestions. Thank you 🙏

Useful Agree
many places like Kharagpur, Cuttack, Kurda road, visagapattinam, Rajamundry all skipped because duronto initially had Non stop pattern so intermediate crew change halt alone came. RU, BZA, SCMN, BBS are given for that purpose only.

Yesterday I was out for more than 13 hours doing RF. This was probably the longest RF session in a day by me without any long trips. Did RF in both SER and ER yesterday.
First picture of the day. Sun shining on Midmount HWH WAP 4 22403 which led 12352 RJPB HWH Express to Howrah.
Picture 2 :- No Shed's WAP 7 37108 with Shiromani Fast Passenger at Deulti. Jokes apart, the loco belongs to SRC. Both 37106 and 37108 are commissioned and doing long duties but don't have any stencilling

on them.
Picture 3 :- Large Station Board of Bhogpur.
Picture 4 :- WAP 4 22254 of SRC skipping Kolaghat with Bhadrak Fast Passenger.
Picture 5 :- The last loco of the WAP 4 dynasty *SRC WAP 4 25051* with HWH YPR Duronto whizzed past Ghoraghata at MPS.
Picture 6 :- Racing time. Race between KGP HWH EMU and JGM SRC MEMU. Location Bagnan.
Picture 7 :- The precious Humsafar Rakes (Rake 1 and 2 - 2018 made) of SER, which I always talked about, were finally captured by me in a single frame. Location Bauria. Rake 2 is currently being used as SRC NJP Special. Rake 1 came from ANVT as one way special. Both these rakes ran for a long time in various routes.
Picture 8 :- At Santragachi. SRC P7 overtaking KGP WDM 3A. The pictures gives us a message too. With 100% Electrification on the Cards it is true that the ELocos will rule the tracks and will take over most of the things from the DLocos.
Picture 9 :- Jumbled up link of Gitanjali. Supposed to get WAP 7 30336 of TKD. Got WAP 4 22991 of ET. Location Howrah.
Picture 10 :- The ECoR Janshatabdi departing from HWH with VSKP WAP 7 30501.
Picture 11 :- Triple Action. Parallel departure of HWH PNBE Janshatabdi and HWH TAK Local of 14:10 from HWH while MGS WAP 4 22064 led Doon Express is waiting to enter Howrah.
Picture 12 :- Unsuccessful Shot. 😐. Saraighat with SGUJ WDP 4D 40141 skipping Bally.
Picture 13 :- New Guwahati's New WDP 4D 40602 curving in at Bally with AGTL BNC Humsafar.
Picture 14 :- Poorva with HWH WAP 7 30371 at Bally.
Picture 15 :- First time capturing loco with white blinkers after dark. Newbie HWH WAP 7 37080 at Howrah.
Last Picture :- Howrah New Complex got a New Station Board. 😍😉
