Need immediate justice for this train 😔😔😔Pathetic maintenance of deputy king of SWR with its RSA 12657/58 Bangalore Mail. It was maintained properly in ICF era but after getting LHB the maintenance was become below average. SWR gave only spare, 2 nd class quality LHB stock (provided old rakes of earlier LHB fied trains) and SWR not able to provide uniform rake (the 7th pic was of SCR rake but probably hidden by someone's head) One of AC coaches having Graffiti (see 4th pic)which will even add more shame on legacy and dignity on both trains. Why nowadays SWR doing like SER(as when Coromandel express given LHB, many old spare coaches were used rather than new stock). Why SR not doing anything for this rake of Bangalore mail (secondary maintenance) and not doing that properly but instead parking at Chennai Beach station for the sake of occupancy of BBQ yard?...

Both SWR, SR and NR did injustice for these both legendary trains . Look at maintenance of Tamilnadu/Grand Trunk/Telangana express trains. They are maintained like Rajdhani and given higher priority. Never thought of degradation of train quality when upgradation of any train. RAILWAYS PLEASE SEPARATE RSA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND RETAIN LEGACY OF SOUTH BOUND TRAIN 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Agreed.

Just checked Kongu's timetable, it also really needs a speedup. SR/SA divn should speed up Kongu and give a good quota to KJM.

SWR can add sleeper coaches to Duronto if required,

but what's most important is that it gets a speedup. Also both terminals should be changed. It should run from SMVB to NZM.

"Toofan" Duronto is slower than AP Express, barely faster than Kerala. Gets overtaken by Darshan Express. Honestly not worthy of being called "Toofan" or "Duronto" unless drastic measures are taken.

In the southbound direction, SBC Raj is a faster option than Duronto. It never used to be like this :(
