Nov 14 2023 (09:41) 12301/Howrah - New Delhi Rajdhani Express (Via Gaya) | NDLS/New Delhi (16 PFs)kirk781~ 3621 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.

I guess IR has kept speeds on NDLS-CNB route lesser due to the immense over utilization of these tracks. The same reason why so many Rajdhanis and other trains crowd these tracks makes them slower in the long run.Also, GZB-NDLS is a slower section comparatively.
I can understand your sentiment regarding slowing down of trains. The Lucknow Shatabdi once used to do 6 hrs 15 mins, I think back when it had a non stop run except at CNB. Now it takes 6hrs 55 mins stopping even at small stations like Phaphund.
