To upgrade it's rake into Lhb
Making it Real SuperFast train or Poorva type category train ( example :- 20957/20958 Indore - New Delhi - Indore SF Express) with sense of People's SuperFast.

Merely changing Kalka Mail into Netaji didn't bring glory to both the names.

This Responsibility Lay's more on ER , SER, NR
IR Bloggers.

Present 12311/12312 is going through Toofan Express & Lal Quila Express pace with Superfast Tag.

Changing names was a political thing. The name Kalka Mail was in use for over a century and needed no change. But Railways is a political cow to be squeezed. Rather than logically naming trains, they irrationally name them.

As for LHB, I am surprised than it hasn't gone that route yet. Even shitty trains here in NER have gotten new coaches but apparently, the respective zone hasn't bothered to give Kalka Mail new coaches. Only goes to show that they don't care much about this train.

This also reminds me of another train going through the same plight. The Bombay-Calcutta Mail running via the original route at Allahabad. It was the primary train connecting the two cities when the route was first laid but even it hadn't gotten LHB last I checked.
