Jul 21 2023 (20:30) 12302/New Delhi - Howrah Rajdhani Express (Via Gaya)

Annarailfan~ 2697 blog postsIs this train really overtaken by Patna Rajdhani or not as in X/O it shows Overtaken by Patna Rajdhani Express ???? Though it departs 20 mins earlier than PNBE Rajdhani and also by Bhubaneswar Rajdhani which departs after this train at 17:00 h.
X/O are not accurate here as stn wise passing time (wtt) is different.
That never happens, except when HWH Rajdhani had loco failures.
Before introduction of Vande Bharat trains, Howrah Rajdhani had highest priority followed by Sealdah Rajdhani on Delhi-Mughal Sarai-Howrah Grand chord/ trunk route. There have been instances of Kanpur Shatabdi overtaking other Rajdhanis but not Howrah Rajdhani when entire Rajdhani gang is running late in up direction towards Delhi.
It is the same for 12259 Sealdah Duronto TT and 12313 Sealdah Rajdhani TT
