I had traveled three times in SDAH NDLS Duronto in June 2010, Sept 2011 and July 2014.
All the journeys of mine had been a "indelible one" in all respect.
The notable positive sides of this train are:
1 Awesome food(both dinner& breakfast) ,praiseworthy punctuality and humble behavior of the "Catering Staff" with respect to serving the food and dealings with

the commuters .
2 Compartments are clean and well maintained by the rail staff of Narkeldanga carshed SDAH
3 Good service of the sweepers on board regarding the maintenance of cleanliness of the lavatories.
4 Clean bedsheets & linens provided to passengers
5 Cooperative & amicable behaviour of on board TTEs regarding allotment of berths to RAC/Waitlisted passengers
6 Nice speed and punctuality maintained all over the journey.
To conclude this is one of the best train I think from Kolkata to NDLS route even better than Rajdhani.(From the viewpoint of Fare & other amenities).
I also traveled in Rajdhani in the year 2011,2012 but the amenities are not upto the mark and in fact of poor standard when compared to SDAH Duronto.

Attached Pics:

C. Loco in Charge of 12260 DN SDAH Duronto HWH WAP7 30329 standing at PF 9C of SDAH
D EOG Van of SDAH NDLS Duronto standing at PF 9 of NDLS
E "Duronto liveried WAP 7" takes the honorable charge of 12259 SDAH NDLS Duronto

I also request the rail fans to make this train as "First Preference" whenever they wish to travel to NDLS from Kolkata.
In a nutshell:
SDAH Duronto is a
1 Nice train
2 First Duronto of IR and
3 Many nostalgic ideals are associated with this train
so my only request is to
"Change it's Loco Link to WAP7 permanently and reinstate the glory of this marvelous service of IR literally and if possible make it a "DAILY SERVICE" like 12267/12268 Mumbai Ahmedabad Duronto".

Request to all users and railfans:
Please give your valuable opinion regarding this "train tip" posted by me.

Sir,
You are a P7/P5 lover like me I know and I appreciate it completely.
I don't want to hurt you in any way but neither I am a Railway Official nor I have any acquintence in SER to whom I can communicate this matter in detail to know the actual reason.
I am also frustrated regarding this obstinate decision of SER of not

taking P5/P7 in SRC or other sheds.
You can do one thing. There is the number of Soumitra Dattamajumder(Public Relations Officer) of SER in the Railway Timetable of SER(Sept 2014 Edition) if he has any mail ID inform these details to him and ask for the actual reason of not taking P7 or P5 in SRC shed.
Or
You can provide your "Opinion" regarding this matter by filling up the feedback Form in CLW's Official Website.From CLW you can know whether future allotment of P5/P7 has been made to SER.
Or
You may take the help of any Admin member to know the actual reason regarding this decision of SER of not taking P5/P7 in its SRC or other sheds, I guess they may help you.
I don't know whether railway officials actually take the views discussed in this forum or not.
