Maitree Express: মৈত্রী এক্সপ্রেস - দুই বাংলার সংস্কৃতি ও ভাতৃত্বের মেলবন্ধন - Joydeep Roy

Yo peeps, check it out!
Eastern Railway gonna roll out Malda Town Khatipura(Jaipur) Amrit Bharat Express special using the 13434 MLDT SMVB AMRIT Bharat's ride.
Big shoutout to Eastern Railway for this move. First train heading to Rajasthan from Malda, whoop whoop! 💗💗
Seems like Eastern Railway got some brains now, thinking 'bout Farakka damage, and cutting that layover time so it doesn't go to NFR. They're making some dope moves, yup yup!

Let's show some love for this train so it becomes a regular thang.

Abhi aaya hai news!!
Eastern Railway chalayegi Malda Town Khatipura (Jaipur) Amrit Bharat Express special 13434 MLDT SMVB AMRIT Bharat ki rakes ka istemal karke.
Eastern Railway ka shukriya is special train ke liye. Malda se pehli Rajasthan jane wali train 💗💗
Ab Eastern Railway Farakka compensation ke baare mein seriously soch rahi hai, aur is rake ka lieover time kam kar rahi hai taki NFR bhejne ki zarurat na ho. Eastern Railway bahut acha kaam kar rahi hai

Is train ko support karo taaki ise regularized kiya ja sake

Yo, here's the deal - they're suggesting some changes to how the states are divided for development. They're asking us to vote on which ones we should keep and which ones we should nix. Check it:
1. Move RTM division to WCR.
2. Shift Kota division to NWR.
3. Switch Nanded division to CR.
4. Move Ratnagiri-KR to CR.
5. Shift Karwar-KR to SWR.
6. Transfer Thokur-Mangaluru Jn/Central-Bantawala to SWR.
7. Lucknow NR division to NER.
8. Move Manjhi-Chhapra/Thawe-Siwan-Chhapra to ECR.
9. Transfer Kharagpur division to ER.
10. Shift Singrauli-Chopan-nagar Untari to WCR.
11. Move Katihar div to ER.
Creating a new zone seems tough given the budget cuts. Personally, I'm cool with sticking to the 9-zone setup, but the railway bigwigs caved to political pressure for votes. It's got people second-guessing, ya know?

To provide for State wise development pattern following transfers (divisional boundary re-markings) are recommended. Vote for/ give opinion which of them to carry forward or to drop
1. RTM division to WCR.
2. Kota division to NWR.
3. Nanded division to CR.
4. Ratnagiri-KR to CR.
5. Karwar-KR to SWR.
6. Thokur-Mangaluru Jn/Central- Bantawala to SWR.
7. Lucknow NR division to NER.
8. Manjhi-Chhapra/Thawe-Siwan-Chhapra to ECR.
9. Kharagpur division to ER.
10. Singrauli- Chopan - nagar Untari to WCR.
11. Katihar div to ER.
Creation of new zone seems a difficult task to achieve given the cost cutting measures adopted by IR. Am personally in favour of 9 zone format but its the IR administration who has submitted to pressure to politicians working for their vote bank; which is forcing the public to think otherwise.

Yo! Check it out, the Dhanbad - Tatanagar Swarna Rekha Express ain't doing so hot right now, only 9 cars and moving super slow. So, I got this idea to extend it from Dhanbad to Anand Vihar(T), creating a daily link between Anand Vihar(T) - Tatanagar via Dhanbad and Pathardih. The plan is to stretch the 13301/13302 Dhanbad - Tatanagar Swarna Rekha Express to Anand Vihar(T), skipping the hassle of reversing at Pathardih & Adra. Also, the maintenance will shift from East Central Railway to Northern Railway. The lineup would be 1A, 2A, 3A, 3E, SL, PC, GS, LSLRD, LWLRRM. I'm also proposing that Northern Railway combines this new route with the 12487/12488 Anand Vihar(T) - Jogbani Seemanchal Express. Here's a rough timetable I've come up with: - Anand Vihar(T) - 12:55 - Dhanbad - 05:30/05:35 - Tatanagar - 10:55 - Tatanagar - 16:30 - Anand Vihar(T) - 14:55 Word is we'd need 3 LHB coaches for this plan. Maintenance at CDO/ANVT, NR and original equipment from TATA, SER. Cool?

Jaise ki hum sab jaante hain ki 13301/13302 Dhanbad - Tatanagar Swarna Rekha Express ki occupancy bilkul bhi achhi nahi hai kyunki sirf 9 coach wali train hai aur bahut slow time table hai. Isliye maine tayaar kiya hai ek proposal 13301/13302 Dhanbad - Tatanagar Swarna Rekha Express ka extension Dhanbad se Anand Vihar(T) tak, taaki daily dedicated connectivity provide ho Anand Vihar(T) - Tatanagar route pe via Dhanbad, Pathardih

13301/13302 Dhanbad - Tatanagar Swarna Rekha Express ka extension proposal Dhanbad se Anand Vihar(T) tak ke saath, Loco reversal ko Pathardih aur Adra mein khatam karke

Extension ke saath primary maintenance ka change hoga East Central Railway se Northern Railway mein, sath hi proposed coach composition hogi 1A, 2A, 3A, 3E, SL, PC, GS, LSLRD, LWLRRM

Northern Railway ko chahiye kare rake integration proposed Anand Vihar(T) - Tatanagar Daily Swarna Rekha Express via Dhanbad ke saath 12487/12488 Anand Vihar(T) - Jogbani Seemanchal Express ke bhi saath
