I Feel who where loves

12311/12312 Netaji Express / Kalka Mail or know about it's Historic Importance.

Should send their grievance to RM in which ever Social media platform.

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.

Kalka Mail LHBfication would require either short termination at CDG or a decrease in rake length for its accomodation in Kalka. Both options might be unacceptable to IR hence no LHBfication so far.

I think Bloggers might bring some solution to this problem by
sharing grievance with RM on Twitter.

Kalka is the point for catching the NG to Shimla. Tourism will be badly affected if short terminated at Chandigarh

This is just an out of the box idea (many may not agree - understandable, but just a thought):

Why not speed up 12311/12 and make it a complete AC SF train from HWH to Kalka? It can run overnight between Delhi & CDG/Kalka and return (like a premium train), and between Delhi and HWH it can act as an affordable alternative to Rajdhani (like Gareeb Rath)? It can have 1AC, 2AC, 3AC and 3AC Economy classes only, and run with only 18 LHB coaches (fit for Kalka station's length).

Meanwhile 12329/30 WB Sampark Kranti can be extended from ANVT to CDG, and can be run between KOAA and CDG on daily basis (if not daily, then 4/5 days a week). KOAA has capacity to handle additional rakes/services, and also SDAH can be freed up by transfer of service (SDAH can - and should, focus more on suburban EMUs). Rake sharing arrangement with 12379/80 Jallianwala Bagh can be cancelled and services can be continued separately between HWH and ASR.

Maybe NR can take this up (like 12449/50 Goa SK and 12217/18 Kerala SK). As and when situation demands, remaining 2/3 days (days when WBSK doesn't run) can be used as RSA for a new train till NJP as North Bengal Sampark Kranti (via PPTA-KIR). Anyways there is huge demand for a separate premium superfast train from Siliguri/North Bengal to Delhi, why not fulfill that demand too in the future?

What do you think, gentlemen? Any alternative suggestions?
