Check the turn around time at BST. With the current time table, can't be done. It has 40 kph average speed and near about crawls between SLN - AY. Add to it useless halts at Gaur and Tinich which consume more time [ no other express train stop there ]. I would argue this train can't even run in it's current avatar. It has a shitty starting time, too early and regularly comes up half empty, if not fully empty. It used to originally return to Allahabad main station but that created delays as high as 4 hours. So now, it returns to "Prayagraj Sangam" but still gets delayed. To make things worse, IR instead of adding sane things like AC Chair Car adds a AC 2 Tier. Who is going to spend so much money in such a crawling train that regularly gets delayed? Better to even remove SL coaches...
more... and just replace them with 2S versions. That is the only place where I have seen people actually booking and travelling. This isn't a train where the journey is long enough that you can sleep, so SL or 2A don't make sense. What makes sense is 2S or CC [ the latter of which it lacks].
please wait...Translate to EnglishCheck out the turnaround time at BST. Can't do it with the current schedule. This train moves at a snail's pace between SLN - AY, and don't even get me started on the useless stops at Gaur and Tinich which waste even more time. No other fast train stops there! This train is a joke, it can't even run properly. It starts way too early and is always half empty, if not completely empty. It used to go all the way to Allahabad main station, but that caused delays of up to 4 hours. Now it only goes to "Prayagraj Sangam" and still gets delayed. And to top it off, instead of adding a decent AC Chair Car, Indian Railways adds an AC 2 Tier. Who's gonna spend so much money on a slow train that's always late? They should just remove the SL coaches and replace them with 2S versions. That's the only place where I see people actually booking and traveling. This ain't a long enough journey to sleep, so SL or 2A don't make any sense. What makes sense is 2S or CC (which they don't have).
please wait...Translate to HindiBST mein turn around time check kar. Current time table ke saath, na ho sakta hai. Iska average speed 40 kph hai aur SLN - AY ke beech mein crawl karta hai. Usme Gaur aur Tinich mein useless rukawatein bhi hai jo zyada samay lete hai [kisi aur express train ka wahan koi rukne ka jagah nahi hai]. Main to yeh kehna chahunga ki yeh train abhi tak apni current form mein chal nahi sakti hai. Iski starting time bahut hi bakwaas hai, bahut jaldi aur aksar adha khali ya poora khali chalti hai. Pehle toh wapas Allahabad main station tak jaati thi, par usse itni der ho jati thi ki 4 ghante tak delay ho jati thi. Isliye ab "Prayagraj Sangam" tak hi lautti hai, lekin phir bhi der ho jati hai. Aur buri baat toh yeh hai ki IR sane cheezein jaise AC Chair Car add karne ki bajaye AC 2 Tier add karta hai. Kaun itni zyada paisa kharch karega itni slow train mein jo hamesha der se chalti hai? Behtar hai SL coaches ko hatakar unki jagah 2S versions laga dein. Wahan hi logon ko booking aur safar karne ke liye aate hai. Yeh train itna lamba safar nahi hai jisme aaram se so sakte ho, isliye SL ya 2A ka koi matlab nahi hai. 2S ya CC hi sense banati hai [jiski yeh train lack karti hai].
