For a RailFan, watching MPS skips are far more interesting than watching F1 race - Prince Maan

The once mighty Lucknow Shatabdi standing at PF 6, which is accessible by cabway, of the station. It once used to be the fastest ground connection b/w Lucknow and Delhi stopping only at CNB [for traction change, I think] originally. It has been slowed by more than 30 minutes since then. Other trains like Tejas and even road connections are faster now. It used to come at LKO NR upto a decade back before being transferred to LJN NER.

Lucknowis should start save LKO Shatabdi movement .. or demand for a separate high priority train from Delhi .. as a VB can potentially cover Delhi LKO distance in less than 5.5 hours …

I always thought that LJN-NDLS would be one of the first routes to get a dedicated VB. After all, it even had a similar Tejas service operating in the morning. All IR had to do was scrape Tejas, introduce VB in it's place with same stoppage and make it slightly faster[due to increased acceleration of VBs].

It should have a full fledged fast TT as fast as BSB VB …

Too many stoppages have killed the aura of Shatabdi. Yes , LJN tejas and Ayodhya Vande Bharat are there. But Shatabdi k alag hi baat thi. IR can reduce its TT by 30 mins

They are instead busy giving it more stoppages, even at useless stations like Phaphund.
