The Toofan Express used to be a superfast train back in the day. From 1930 to 1955, Train Number 7/8, the Howrah-Delhi Toofan Express, used to run via Sasaram, Gaya, Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay, Kanpur, and Aligarh Tundla. It would depart from Howrah at 20:10 and arrive in Delhi at 06:23, and depart from Delhi at 20:55 and reach Howrah at 08:36. Then in 1956, the Toofan Express was renumbered as 63/64, and the new route became Haldia-Delhi Toofan Express via Patna, Tundla, and Agra. Even then, its speed was good. It would depart from Haldia at 09:45 and arrive in Delhi at 15:00, and depart from Delhi at 16:55 and reach Haldia at 18:36. Then in 1997, the speed of the 7/8 Haldia-New Delhi Toofan Express was reduced. Train Number 7 would depart from Haldia at 10:15 and arrive in Delhi at 20:20 at night, and Train Number 8 would depart from New Delhi at 09:28 in the morning and reach Haldia at 19:45. Then the destruction of the Toofan Express began. In 1991, the 7/8 Haldia-New Delhi Toofan Express was merged. Train Number 59/60, the New Delhi-Shriganganagar Udyan Abha Express, used to run. Train Number 59 would depart from Delhi at 22:45 and arrive in Shriganganagar at 08:00, and Train Number 60 would depart from Shriganganagar at 22:55 and arrive in New Delhi at 07:20. Then the Toofan Express and Udyan Abha Express were merged to form the Udyan Abha Toofan Express, which ran up to Haldia-Shriganganagar as Train Number 3007/3008. Beyond New Delhi, this train would stop at stations like Rohtak, Jind, Narwana, Jakhla, and Bathinda. In this way, the speed of the Toofan Express, a superfast train of that era, was destroyed.

Yo! We need all the important trains to make a stop at Chittaranjan again, and let's get 13007, 13049, 13039, and 13111 up and running too. Also, let's start the Agnivina Express from either Chittaranjan or Jamtara. We want more local EMU trains between ASN and JAJ. And hey, let's introduce a new train from DUMKA to BSB via DHN and GAYA.

Sabse badi train sabhi major stops par Chittaranjan rukti hai aur 13007, 13049, 13039 aur 13111 ki punah shuruat chahiye. Chittaranjan ya Jamtara se Agnivina Express ki shuruat chahiye. ASN aur JAJ ke beech aur bhi local EMU trains chalani chahiye. DUMKA-BSB naam ki nayi train ka DHN, GAYA ke via DUMKA se shuruat honi chahiye.

Railway recently decided to cancel a whole bunch of trains for good. Even some of the iconic ones got the axe. Do you think it's a good move or what?

Recently Railway ne bahut saari trainon ki permanent cancellation karne ka faisla kiya hai. Iss mein kuch legendary trains bhi shaamil hai. Tum is faisley se sehmat ho?
