"The 12269 Madras Duronto Express"
..
.Presenting the Pictures of chennai duronto express arriving BZA..Loco in lead was LGD WAP-7 30237!!
.
Personally(I) feel this is the best train in India for an RF due
...
more...
to the 10 following reasons:
1)This is SR's fastest train in terms of both Average speed and top speed.
2)This train uses india's most powerful loco WAP-7 and does'nt Dissapoint anyone who expects a P-7 for their ride unlike-GT express,AP express..infact So many times there had been a situation where one P-7 is available and both Mas RAJ and Duru would wait for it at MAS.Even in this situation a P-7 is always alloted to Mas duru and raj gets a P-4...(even in this journey the same happened.
3)This train is the only train In IR to get PURE LHB SL coaches as a duronto express
4)This is the only train from SR to be in the TOP 20 fastest trains list in IR.
5)It overtakes many trains including passenger,express,emu,superfast,RAJDHANIs..
6)u can easily get a ticket is S-8 which is the second coach from loco and hear the whining honk by the white BEAST!
7)Various MPS's in each section which provides a great feel for an RF as it goes in an increasing order!!!!!:MAS-BZA-110Kph,BZA-JHS-120Kph,JHS-NZM-1 30Kph(eventhough not officially permitted it constantly does MPS(130) run throughout the section.
8)This train is the fastesttrain between Mas-Nzm and has a GREAT TIMETABLE unlike other superfasts which takes 2 nights and kill the time simply..
9)Provides great accesibility for passengers from Ngp-to NZM such that its quota from from NGP-NZM lies under gn quota.
10)On the whole Provides a Great journey because of its constant MPS runs rigt from Mas until NZM for an RF..

Re# 1823242-2              
The second,third and seventh reason tops my list. But second reason is the first and foremost! :P Invariably when I expect a P7 I see a P4 getting attached to my train and its even more terrible to see many P7s sleeping in the trip shed. Donno when the longing to travel by Amma Duronto will get fulfilled. :P
