1880's: Bombay-ADI Gujarat Mail, ADI-DLI Ahmedabad MG Mail, DLI-Peshawar Mail. DLI Peshawar through (1/2 Class Composite)!! This arrangement acted as forerunner of Frontier Mail past Bombay-Kota-DLI through.

Since 1867, HWH-ALD-JBP was Through Carriage (End-to-End Carriage Service attached/detached at ALD)
Since 1870, HWH-ALD-JBP-Bombay was through Carriage
Since 1 March 1875 TT of Calcutta Bombay Mail was revised and run time was reduced by 12 Hrs!! This means from Through Coach this service become Through Train!!
