The train from NJP [New Jalpaiguri - Howrah Shatabdi Express/12042] arrived 10 min late at howrah station.

The train started from Howrah Station with superb acceleration. Within few minutes this Shatabdi was doing something 100-110 km/Hr. WDP 4B from Siliguri Junction was in charge.

Though we were bang on time at Bolpur, Malda Town and Kishanganj but the train reached NJP with 20 min delay.
The cause of delay is non availability of platform at New Jalpaiguri even at 11 PM in night... :)
.
The journey was extremely pleasant... Once again enjoyed the country side of Bengal, Jharkhanad and Bihar...
Thanks
