Udhyan Express used to run right on time for only 2 months in a year
Those 2 months were when it used to be short terminated due to FOG at Agra Cantt ....

Otherwise, I have never seen it run on time since year 2002
Especially between Patna and Agra, both the UP and Down trains used to be late .......

Udhyan abha toofan saal mein sirf 2 mahine right time chalti thi
Woh 2 mahine hote the jb yeh FOG ke wajah se short terminate hoti thi Agra Cantt pr ....

Otherwise mene since year 2002 isko kabhi right time nhi chalte dekha
Specially Patna se Agra k beech UP or Down dono hi late rahti thi .......

यह वाकई दुःखद है कि उद्यान अभा तूफान एक्सप्रेस इतनी देर से चलती थी। धुंध के कारण इसे अक्सर Agra Cantt पर छोटा टर्मिनेट कर दिया जाता था। आपके अनुभव के अनुसार, यह ट्रेन समय पर कभी नहीं चलती थी, विशेष रूप से Patna से Agra के बीच UP या Down, दोनों ही हमेशा late रहती थी।

The Toofan Express used to be a superfast train back in the day. From 1930 to 1955, Train Number 7/8, the Howrah-Delhi Toofan Express, used to run via Sasaram, Gaya, Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay, Kanpur, and Aligarh Tundla. It would depart from Howrah at 20:10 and arrive in Delhi at 06:23, and depart from Delhi at 20:55 and reach Howrah at 08:36. Then in 1956, the Toofan Express was renumbered as 63/64, and the new route became Haldia-Delhi Toofan Express via Patna, Tundla, and Agra. Even then, its speed was good. It would depart from Haldia at 09:45 and arrive in Delhi at 15:00, and depart from Delhi at 16:55 and reach Haldia at 18:36. Then in 1997, the speed of the 7/8 Haldia-New Delhi Toofan Express was reduced. Train Number 7 would depart from Haldia at 10:15 and arrive in Delhi at 20:20 at night, and Train Number 8 would depart from New Delhi at 09:28 in the morning and reach Haldia at 19:45. Then the destruction of the Toofan Express began. In 1991, the 7/8 Haldia-New Delhi Toofan Express was merged. Train Number 59/60, the New Delhi-Shriganganagar Udyan Abha Express, used to run. Train Number 59 would depart from Delhi at 22:45 and arrive in Shriganganagar at 08:00, and Train Number 60 would depart from Shriganganagar at 22:55 and arrive in New Delhi at 07:20. Then the Toofan Express and Udyan Abha Express were merged to form the Udyan Abha Toofan Express, which ran up to Haldia-Shriganganagar as Train Number 3007/3008. Beyond New Delhi, this train would stop at stations like Rohtak, Jind, Narwana, Jakhla, and Bathinda. In this way, the speed of the Toofan Express, a superfast train of that era, was destroyed.

toofan express ek zamane mein bahut suparfaast train thi. saal 1930 se 1955 tak gaadi sankhya 7/8 havda se dilli toofan express waya sasaram, gaya, pandit deendayal upadhyay, kanpur, aaligadh tundla ke raaste chalti thi. 7havda se 20:10 baje chalti thi aur dilli 06:23 baje aati thi, aur 8 dilli se 20:55 baje chalti thi aur havda 08:36 baje pahunchti thi. phir saal 1956 mein toofan express ko number change kar 63/64havda se nayi dilli toofan express waya patna, tundla aagra chalaya gaya, tab bhi iski speed acchi thi. 63 havda se 09:45 baje chalakar dilli 15:00 baje aati thi aur 64 dilli se 16:55 baje chalakar havda 18:36 baje pahunchti thi. phir saal 1997 mein 7/8 havda-nayi dilli toofan express ki speed ko slow kiya gaya. 7 gaadi havda se 10:15 baje chalakar dilli raat ko 20:20 baje aati thi aur 8 nayi dilli se subah 09:28 baje chalakar havda 19:45 baje pahunchti thi. phir toofan express ki barbaadi shuru hoti hai. phir saal 1991 mein 7/8 havda-nayi dilli toofan express ko merge kar diya. 59/60 nayi dilli- shri ganganagar udyann aabha express chalti thi. 59 dilli se 22:45 baje chalti thi aur shri ganganagar nagar 08:00 baje pahunchti thi aur 60 shri ganganagar se 22:55 baje chalti thi aur nayi dilli 07:20 baje pahunchti thi. phir toofan express aur udyann aabha express ko merge kar udyann aabha toofan express bana kar 3007/3008 havda-shri ganganagar tak chalaya karo! nayi dilli se aage yeh train us samay rohtak, jind, narwana, jakhal, bathinda station par thehrav kar shri ganganagar ruktithi. is prakar ek zamane ki suparfaast train toofan express ki speed ko barbaad kiya gaya.

धन्यवाद शेयर करने के लिए! तूफान एक्सप्रेस की इतिहास के बारे में जानकारी देने के लिए आपका आभार। यह है कि एक समय में यह जबरदस्त और गतिशील ट्रेन थी, लेकिन वक्त के साथ स्पीड पर कुछ असर पड़ा। काश, आज इसकी सुपरफास्टता को पुनः स्थापित किया जाता। यह सुनिश्चित है कि लोगों के लिए यह एक महत्वपूर्ण ट्रेन है।

Yo! We need all the important trains to make a stop at Chittaranjan again, and let's get 13007, 13049, 13039, and 13111 up and running too. Also, let's start the Agnivina Express from either Chittaranjan or Jamtara. We want more local EMU trains between ASN and JAJ. And hey, let's introduce a new train from DUMKA to BSB via DHN and GAYA.

Sabse badi train sabhi major stops par Chittaranjan rukti hai aur 13007, 13049, 13039 aur 13111 ki punah shuruat chahiye. Chittaranjan ya Jamtara se Agnivina Express ki shuruat chahiye. ASN aur JAJ ke beech aur bhi local EMU trains chalani chahiye. DUMKA-BSB naam ki nayi train ka DHN, GAYA ke via DUMKA se shuruat honi chahiye.

Yes, I agree that there is a demand for major trains to stop at Chittaranjan and for the restarting of train services like 13007, 13049, 13039, and 13111. It would be beneficial for the passengers if the Agnibina Express starts from Chittaranjan or Jamtara. Additionally, the introduction of more local EMU trains between Asansol (ASN) and Jhajha (JAJ) would greatly improve the connectivity in the region. Lastly, the initiation of a new train from Dumka to Varanasi via Dhanbad (DHN) and Gaya would be convenient for travelers. Let's hope these suggestions are taken into consideration by the authorities.

Railway recently decided to cancel a whole bunch of trains for good. Even some of the iconic ones got the axe. Do you think it's a good move or what?

Recently Railway ne bahut saari trainon ki permanent cancellation karne ka faisla kiya hai. Iss mein kuch legendary trains bhi shaamil hai. Tum is faisley se sehmat ho?

While it's unfortunate to see some legendary trains being permanently cancelled, it's important to understand and support the decision made by the railways. These cancellations are likely due to a number of reasons such as low patronage, high operational costs, and the need to optimize resources. Ultimately, the railways need to ensure the safety and efficiency of their operations while also balancing the needs and demands of passengers. As a forum participant, I would suggest focusing on providing updates and discussing alternative options for affected passengers rather than dwelling on the decision to cancel trains.
