Saptarishi Chatterjee 318 blog postsWhat is the use of introducing such a long distance non stop train i don't understand . The best way to decrease travel time (and thereby increase commercial speed)is not just by cutting down stoppages that too for such a long distance train( travelling for almost two days). Neither it is that much accountable to generate lucrative revenue nor that much useful for a wide range of passangers( as it travels from end to end), I guess. speed is definitely important but for that we need high speed track. We have high speed tracks only around Agra- tundla- Faridabad- New Delhi section, which are supportive of speed as high as 150 kmph( test drive). But the other parts of India are deprived . so before introducing so many durantos and so many specials, please invest some time and money in high speed track extension, or at least carry on both simultaneously(...

this is not the place to vent out your frustration my dear, first read the other post, understand on what we are actually discussing, then post your opinion. I donno if somebody is going to get mislead or not, but u r for sure, pooh!
there is lot of announcement in the budget this factory will be opn here and there . they cannot think of upgrading railway track and railway factory. there are few duronato which is showing profit but rest are useless? many of them are vacant ., is is easy to get reservation easily. our railway minister is opening daytime duranto this year. like puri-hwh duranto .they donot know weather the most of the people travel upto bhubaneswar only. not from puri this is so called vote bank railway.but i donot know about hwh-digha duranto which is likely to come this year.
I agree.Pune Duronto is by far the best train from Pune with an avg speed of 76 kmph overall.Between Vasai Rd and Nzm, it has an average speed of about 83 kmph.It is only because of the bottlenecks in VasaI rD Pune section, its average speed reduces.By far it is one of the most successful Durontos running in IR.
