How does it matter to the common man or rail travelers if it originates from X station or Y station in Delhi area? Is it skipping the entire Delhi city altogether?
People can go to any of the 5 stations in Delhi and board their trains and reach their destination. What difference does it make to actually who travels in these trains? For them, all stations are equal. It is only for the psychos a.k.a so-called rail fans who make it prestige issue while just being keyboard warriors.

What stature? It is a railway station for god's sake, just like CSMT or MMCT or ADI or HWH or LKO or ANVT or RKMP or any x y z station of Indian railways. Itna romaniticize karne ki jarurat nahi hai..

Ignorant People fail to comprehend the dangers of being in vicinity of 25000 KV lines, when they have handled only upto 440 volts in their lives. A 25000 KV line does not need to be physically touched to kill you. It can pull you from a few feet like a magnet pulls iron objects and electrocute you on the spot!

Indore - Daund SF Express
This train should be extended to Latur or Parli Vaijnath.
It is important for business people in Marathwada And it is important to connect the two Jotirlingas Ujjain and Parli Vaijnath Temple.

Agree
#offtopic Parli Vaijnath is an important Shiva temple , but its status as a Jyotirlinga is disputed, and often denied. The more accepted (as per ancient sanatani texts) one is Jharkhand's Deoghar located Baba Baijnath.

Adi Shankaracharya praised Vaidyanath Jyotirlinga in Dwadasa Jyotirlinga Strotham:

Vaidyanath
...
more...
Strotram


“Poorvothare prajwalika nidhane
sada vasantham girija sametham
surasuraradhitha padapadmam
srivaidyanatham thamaham namami”

Poorvottare means in North-East, Prajwalika Nidhane means at a funeral place (chithabhoomi), Sadhashiv is Lord Shiva and Girijasametam means with Girija i.e. Parvati.

The original 12 jyotirlingam strotam as per Shiva Puran also counts Deoghar not Parli Baijnath

सौराष्ट्रे सोमनाथं च श्रीशैले मल्लिकार्जुनम्। उज्जयिन्यां महाकालमोङ्कारममलेश्वरम्॥
*वैद्यनाथम् चिताभूमो* च डाकिन्यां भीमशङ्करम्। सेतुबन्धे तु रामेशं नागेशं दारुकावने॥
वाराणस्यां तु विश्वेशं त्र्यम्बकं गौतमीतटे। हिमालये तु केदारं घुश्मेशं च शिवालये॥
एतानि ज्योतिर्लिङ्गानि सायं प्रातः पठेन्नरः।कर्मक्षयो भवेत्तस्य यस्य तुष्टो महेश्वराः॥: सप्तजन्मकृतं पापं स्मरणेन विनश्यति॥ एतेषां दर्शनादेव पातकं नैव तिष्ठति।

Jharkhand, where Deoghar is located, India is indeed in the North eastern direction. Also ancient name of Deoghar was Chidabhoomi.

This indicates the more accepted or 'real' Baidyanath Jyotirling is at Deoghar

Slightly #offtopic. Bro, in newspapers here in Indore, they frequently quote Mr. Nagesh Namjoshi (mostly) and Mr. Jagmohan Verma (sometimes) as "Railway mamlo ke Jankar" in railways related news / speculations. They introduce them as "Railway Passengers Amenities Committee Ke Poorv Sadasya". I have a few questions, which the newspapers never address or answer.

1) What exactly is this committee? What is its purpose and what powers it holds? What authority gives it its powers? (I mean is it constituted by the Railway Board or Zone / Division officers, or is
...

it just like an informal group of daily up-downers / frequent travelers' association?)

2) Do they even do frequent meetings or holds discussions? What frequencies? Are their recommendations heard by anyone in Board or Zone or Division? Or are they just a group of enthusiasts like rail-fans who just keep discussing but have no bearing at all on ground?

3) Let's assume this committee is indeed empowered enough to influence important decisions at Board / Zone / Division level. Then why do the newspapers keep on taking quotes from a "Poorv Sadasya"? Won't it be more impactful to contact someone who is a "Vartaman Sadasya"?

4) If it is really a committee, then there must be many members. Why do they keep talking to these 2 gentlemen only (Mostly Mr. Namjoshi 80-90% of time)? Why are the other "Poorv" or "Vartaman" members never contacted?

Sorry for being too inquisitive on this. But these questions are baffling me from a long time.

Thanks for responding.
What you are saying are general comments. Do you have specific responses for my questions? (especially if you know the background or other info about the 2 gentlemen mentioned in my post)

see if I get any answers from the channel's owner.
Fun Fact: One of the comments in the same video says anyone can meet Mr. Namjoshi in Sumitra Mahajan's office between 12 and 2 pm on working days. This denotes how closely he works with her.
