101/102 is Howrah Rajdhani
103/104 is Poorva Express via Patna(Back then it was fully AC and used to run till Amritsar)
161/162 is TATA JAT Express (Used to run only till Amritsar)
87/88 is South Bihar (Used to run only till Tatanagar)
81/82 is Poorva Express via Gaya(Back then it was fully AC and used to run till Amritsar)
13/14 is Upper India
7/8 is Toofan (Used to run only till Delhi)
1/2 is Netaji(Howrah Kalka Mail)
No idea about 39/40 HWH DLI Janta Express and 11/12 HWH DLI Express

Synopsis:
Howrah Rajdhani was 50 minutes faster then, used to take 16:25 hours from HWH to NDLS. This pic should be tweeted to Railway Minister, DRM HWH and should be asked why today it takes 50 minutes extra. Again what is the use of WAP-7, LHB and 130 MPS when WDM, ICF Rake and 110 MPS was far superior.
Are we even living in modern age when trains are being slowed down.
Poorvas, TATA JAT are speeded up, Netaji(HWH KLK) is massively speeded up but 12312 is massively slowed down and South Bihar also is massively slowed down between Tatanagar and Patna.
Toofan, Upper India, HWH DLI Janta & HWH DLI Express are permanently cancelled.

173/174 is Himgiri
51/52 is KOAA JAT Express (Terminal at that time was Sealdah)
49/50 is HWH ASR Express
27/28 is Maurya (Used to run between Dhanbad and Muzzafarpur)
9/10 is Doon Express
5/6 is HWH ASR (Punjab) Mail
No idea about 61/62 HWH DDN J.Express

Synopsis:
Himgiri has the most disastrous slow down in the History of Indian Railways by more than 9 hours. Its really hard to believe that even MB-LKO-SLN-BSB route used to so fast back then.
KOAA JAT Express is slowed down massively by 2 hours.
Maurya is extended and Dhanbad is given a very inconvenient timings. Injustice done with DHN.
For Doon no significant change in timings but injustice done with Dehradun by changing Terminal to YNRK.
HWH ASR Mail slowed down by 1:15 hours.
HWH ASR Express is permanently cancelled.

Howrah Rajdhani First Class Golden Jubilee Full Journey Compilation!! Part- 2 (Patna to New Delhi)
Video link: click here
On March 03, 1969, the first ever RAJDHANI EXPRESS was flagged off from Howrah station, making it the fastest train of Indian Railways at that time.
So to celebrate the Golden Jubilee run on March 03, 2019, I and a lot of railfans decided to...

travel on the train.Being a Sunday, it was the turn of the 12305 Howrah New Delhi Weekly RAJDHANI Via Patna. Since all the seats were already booked in First Class by the time I logged in IRCTC, so I and Kaustabh Samaddar decided to book two separate tickets. We booked one First Class ticket from Howrah to Patna, and another First Class ticket from Patna to New Delhi (Where Sourav Dutta will be accompanying us).
So enjoy the journey as I take you on a ride with me on the most luxurious class of the RAJDHANI EXPRESS, and get a complete coverage of the route and the delicacies that were served on board. The entire compilation is divided into two parts, where the first part covered our journey from Howrah to Patna in a coupe, and the second part covers the Patna to New Delhi section in a cabin. On this part you can enjoy the arrivals and departure from various important stations enroute, like Patna, Mughal Sarai, Allahabad and Kanpur. And also you would get an opportunity to see numerous station skips, overtakes and crossings. Unluckily, although were were running more than 1 hour before time at Mughal Sarai, but thick fog next morning ensured that we could hardly hit MPS till Aligarh, and lost a lot of time. Finally we arrived at New Delhi at 11:45 AM, and were once again greeted by a lot of media people and a few railway officials. Interviews and photographs were taken, and sweets (Laddoo) were distributed to the first class passengers.
Overall, it was my first ever ride in a First Class compartment, and I must admit, it was my best ever train journey till date. The amenities, behavior of staffs and Protection Force, delicacies and maintenance by OBHS Staffs wee class apart.
And as I mentioned at the end of the video,
"MANY NEW TRAINS WILL COME AND GO, BUT RAJDHANI WILL ALWAYS REMAIN THE KING".
