* LHB maint at Durg depo is a good news and is an indication of professional approach of IR.
* Otherwise, announcement of BSP-Firozpur Antyoday(LHB rake) gives a hint that LHB maint. facilities may not be available at Durg. Else there is no logic to start the train from Bilaspur (Population 5 lacs) & deny the facility of this long distance SECR train to the top 2 cities of Chhatisgarh i.e. Raipur (Capital with population 14lacs) & Bhilai-Durg (population 12lacs).
* BSP Firozpur Antyoday is a strange train. For 1530 km...

SECR had always been one of the most profitable zones and deserve better treatment by IR.
The route followed by BSP Antyodaya is flop. This train was meant to reduce the load of Chhattisgarh Express but won't serve any major purpose. The intermediate halts will be there after months of introduction. From what I observe Antyodaya Express are introduced just to show that IR care for poor pax also. If it would have been, they must have introduced these trains daily instead or biweekly. Since RB is focusing on only on cash cows, there won't be any priority to Antyodaya trains. Also late running of these trains will also discourage the prospective passengers and they will run for namesake only.
Should have been extended to inner Odisha, a hub for labour to all across India !
The TT is a bit slow, atleast a 62-63 average would have been preferable :(
