Nov 14 2023 (09:41) 12301/Howrah - New Delhi Rajdhani Express (Via Gaya) | NDLS/New Delhi (16 PFs)kirk781~ 3601 blog posts
The first Rajdhani that ran in India [the second b/w Delhi and Bombay ran a decade later] in 1969. Originally having sitting Chair Car and AC Sleepers; it now runs with standard config found on other trains. Though with many Rajdhanis running on the NDLS-MGS route, there is no one true King anymore since more or less others are accorded equal priority.
There is also an ad liveried image of New Delhi's platform.

NDLS-HWH route has more difficulties via the Grand Chord route that includes Tunnels at Chota Nagpur Plateau in Jharkhand,The 'Speed Breaker' : Gurpa Gujhandi Ghat and so on......
But Mumbai Rajdhani has speed up. Earlier in 2014 or 15 it used to take 15 h 50 m from New Delhi to Mumbai Central.Now it's taking 15 h 40 m from New Delhi to Mumbai Central.
Pata nhi kyon New Delhi Mumbai route par trains speed up kr rhe hai aur New Delhi Howrah route par trains slow down kar rahe hai.God knows ! IR had to focus more on New Delhi Howrah route now.Agree or not Agree.
Actually the Ndls ddu route is full of traffic that's why I think so railways should think about this issue.
