Mail is just a suffix now; for all purposes, it's priority is equal to that of an express train. Many trains of the bygone area used to carry actual mails and the name[and route] of those trains persisted.

The name MAIL was dismissed because the MAIL and Express old days are Different. Mail is given priority than expresses at that time. But after Express name attracted people they preferred it and Mails also become Express. Now a days some expresses doing Mail jobs with Mail halts. for Ex:- East coast some times carry RMS coaches. Lokshakti is having RMS coach. And i saw 2/3 times Konark also used RMS coach.(previously KONARK was from BBS-SC only. from SC it was made as MINAR Express to Mumbai.) but Both merged now as KONARK) Just name changed but not the duty.
And after technology developed E-Mails, cell phones came all the contact become very easy. previous days Mail never gate late as

it is a main Letter and Document carrier for people, Job seekers letters for interview, and mainly for ARMY Personnels letters to carry their homes in other places. Those days gone. Now click a button and talk to family. If postal van delayed some times MAIL was halted for 20-30 Mints also. That is MAIL Priority at that time. Now present MAIL's are for name sake only to carry u r bills of telephones and Bank statements. IR is running current Mails because with their Old Glory only. And with out MAIL stations announcements will lost their charm.

Very well told. My father love HWH-MAS MAIL very much at that time because of their PUNCTUALITY. And well explained the MAIL Priority. You are right. With announcement of MAIL word station announcements will be dull.
