In your opinion, which is the worst name change for a train and station respectively? For train, I'll go with the Netaji Mail. It's old name was proper considering it goes to Kalka(as the name suggests) and it has been known as the same for 150 years. There wasn't any political motivation either to change it's name considering the existing name had no connotations(contrast this with Mughalsarai Jn where the name change was done because the government had issues with the previous name; none of that issue with Kalka Mail).

Worst decision in rechristening a Train. There is a legacy in the name Kalka mail.
But nowadays policy maker dont care about heritage
They believe in destroying heritage building & facade then replacing it with concrete structure.
To them Kevadiya is more important than Kalka station.
There
...
more...
is no harm in Kevadiya.
But what they try to sell the name of Netaji before election in naming kalka mail after Netaji; rather if they really want to pay tribute to Netaji then they will care to publish the classified files of disappearence of Subhas Ch Bose.
