As usual SR made this train to get humiliated . First was Providing stops at unnecessary locations , second it was the removal of two AC chair coaches, 3rd was reducing the 2S coaches , 4th was by removing the final AC Chair car which was left , 5th was the removal of the Pantry Car. A die hard fan Brindavan would never forget the Yummy food which was provided in Brindavan and the magnificent run it used to have. Now this legend has 23 coaches, Yes you read it right, it was 23 . The PC was not replaced by an UR or with a 2S. I was shocked when i looked this Legend with a modest look. This Legend was crushed like anything by this stupid SR which wanted to increase the patronage of Double Decker. It was one of the few day Intercity type trains which had 24...

Coaches. Now Brindavan has lost this feather as well from its hat.
Still Brindavan has some fans left and no one will forget its service in the busy MAS-SBC corridor.

All this depends upon the Zone..As this can be easily compared to WR (Karnavati). Karnavati still have its own charm. No thing changed after DD introduced.

Agreed your above points that Railways cut all facilities as you mentioned to upgrade another new train. It is first time it happened in our Railways.
-Brindavan Express been robbed from 1-7-2012 slot and scale down its facilities, so that new Double Decker to survive passengers &as per Times of India News/Chennai/7-2-2013. So speed 62 reduced to match DD run 58 kmph. May be double deck LHB Coach-Weight is more than regular coach may be and several-curves may slow. Cause both takes same running hours. From morning SBC-Mas Intercity SF/12610 dep. 8am then DD starts after 6.30hrs gap but ticket fare is higher Rs.470 only emergency we used and aircondition effect is gone once Central platform arrived due to humidity. So "present

cost of living" normal SF like Lalbagh Exp. and Brindavan fare one third plus PC food & coffee is ok.
-So only scale down Brindavan then only DD prospering? there are thousands of SF & Express running along Rajdhani, Shatabdi, other DD & Doronto Express running independently. So SR to benefit DD to further:
-Let SR & SWR Start Brindavan 6.30am @ MAS (like Lalbagh/12608) and reach SBC 12.30/45 and SBC Dep: 13.30/45 and MAS Arv: 19.30 hrs. (like Mas-Sbc Intercity/12609). SO that Double Decker got lot of time to adjust time MAS dep: 7.30 hrs and SBC Arv: 13.30 pm and Dep: 15.00 hrs and reach MAS 20.45 hrs. so that DD run full and later add another 2 LHB coaches.
-Also regret all Brindavan Loco Pilots of WAP4 & WAP7 is Gr8 but NOT running as per Time-Table (bit Tired running slow it seems but pls keep on-time if possible) along enroute other Station-Masters delay for giving green-signal from Departure to all Intermediate-Stations in 2 minutes but forget and lately give signals is all count much for this Train to run Late every now & then at each stoppage. Just 10-20 mins. is agree but God sake not 30 to 60 mins.plus Late Running is beyond limit, Sir why it is not Gaining Speed like other Trains? Lalbagh SF 21-22 coaches but due to Sir Brindavan SF 24 coaches (and some are OLD paan-paarag coaches recently attached at Yards at night) so this makes run slow. Sir road transport lot of jerk and brake but Train we travel always even full but smooth running by expert LPs under Rail Minister, various Divisional Managers, Chiefs, PROs, Station Masters, LPs & all Staff transport millions and millions of Passengers 24x7 is Gr8 !
