The so-called premium Duronto Express encountered significant operational issues when its WAP-7 locomotive failed near Ghaziabad. After reaching Dadri, a WAG-9 was substituted, limiting the train's speed to 100 km/h despite the section's 130 km/h capability. The train was repeatedly moved to loop lines at smaller stations, leading to at least 15 other trains overtaking it, including the Farakka Express. It's particularly concerning that, despite Ghaziabad being a major hub with one of the largest electric loco sheds in the country, an alternative WAP-7 could not be provided.

Traveling with Indian Railways today often feels uncertain, where a successful journey depends largely on luck. While everything may proceed smoothly, problems like safety issues, delays, locomotive breakdowns, or substandard food quality frequently arise, with no clear accountability for resolving these concerns.

Ok agreed with yr concern .Just spare a thought for railways operational staff .
Same track ,rajdhani ,VB,Duronto plus sfsst trains have to run
If route does not have dedicated freight tracks ,zit will also hv to be Accomdated .As itbis वेल known railway gets bulk of revenue from freight trains oकॉन्कोर्डो ,पार्सल trains etc .

There seems to be an issue with the Duronto Express today. I am currently on board, and the train has been stationary for the past hour. During this time, it has been overtaken by multiple trains, including the Kaifiyat Express, Shiv Ganga Express, and others.

It's not about being out of the slot. It's about the loco you're getting and how tight the schedule train has. If in the same case LJN Tejas or Vande Bharat had been there then everything would have been done.

In my opinion railways should make future train sets with this coach composition 6 general class coaches including luggage loading capacity , 6 sleeper coaches , 8 ac class coaches ( which can include third ac or second ac or first ac or can be a mixture of these coaches ) and ( either 1 ac coach or 2 ac coaches can be removed to add pantry car coach and extra luggage coach ) so 6+6+8 total 20 and 2 electric locos ( 1 at front side of whole trainset and 1 at back side of the whole trainset ) so 20 +2 total 22 coaches , so that instead of giving lhb rakes to some trains which runs on a longer path railways should directly convert those mail or express or superfast express trains into these trains sets and cost of making lhb coaches will also be reduced or...

saved due to directly conversion of mail or express train into train sets and rake reversal time of many trains will be reduced wnd cost of doing rake reversal of a train will also be reduced ( due to 2 engine 1 at back side of the trainset and 1 and front side of the train set ) and speed of all trains can be increased (due to 2 engine 1 at back side of the trainset and 1 and front side of the train set ) . Please give your opinion on this but please don't give any argument related to politics so that my post don't get archived.

Or either railways can apply this coach composition in in some upcoming amrit bharat express trains so that we can see that whether this coach composition for train sets will become a successful idea or will become a flop idea.
