Rs. 1,880/-
AC 1st Class - Rs. 3,295/-
2. A 3rd AC Economy (so thoughtful)
3. 12260 Dep at 8.05 PM and now it has been slowed down by 25 mins
(Strange). I remember people used to say Rajdhani takes 14 hours while Duro takes 13 hours.
4. 12259 arrived at 11 AM with OT Kanpur Shatabdi. (Wow OT fastest of IR)
5. No tatkal (Imagine that in today's time)
No wonders this train was the best Duronto of its times
Time has only delayed it.
