Gitanjali Express: The heartbeat of India's poetic landscapes - Krish Patil

Tejas rake ka NDLS PNBE ke beech 3 din ka utilisation bacha hai.

Trains to Bihar during Chhath and Diwali are guaranteed to be packed, even if they are highly overpriced premium trains with terrible onboard services.

My main concern was that if they are running a full length Tejas rake on alternate days in the same slot, the VB rake could have also been a 16C. They would have the older rakes of BSB VB twins lying as spare.

Punctuality remains a gamble in the NCR with such a tight schedule, given that it is a special train, and the newly inaugurated weekly to Godda, despite being a regular train, has been given a whopping 5 hours between PRYJ-DDU to accommodate the congestion and Overtime.

Bihar jaane wali Chhath aur Diwali ki trains mein toh bheed toh hogi hi, chahe woh mehngi premium train ho, aur usme service bhi kharab ho.

Mera main concern yeh tha ki agar woh alternate din Tejas rake chalate hain, toh VB rake bhi toh 16C ka ho sakta tha. Unke pass BSB VB twins ki purani rakes bhi spare mein honi chahiye.

NCR mein itne tight schedule ke saath punctuality toh gamble hi hai. Aise hi, ek special train aur Godda ke liye naya weekly train, dono ko PRYJ-DDU ke beech 5 saal ki extra time di gayi hai, taaki congestion aur OTs ko manage kiya ja sake.

Last year, it ran with 16 coaches. Passengers faced a lot of problems. Food quality and punctuality are both poor. Sitting for this much time is not okay.
