----------This is Very Important for all patronizer and lovers of RED BEAST-------
Today some incidents have happened which proves that SRC ELS has now become a "perfect blend" of P4s of various zones including its own P4s(SRC P4s)
My Observation:
A. Today's empty rake of HWH Hyderabad East Coast Exp(Have RSA with HWH Ranchi Hatia Exp) is found with a
...
more...
HWH WAP4(As the Loco in Charge of East Coast Exp) at Tikiapara down middle line going to HWH for departure which clearly indicates that SRC ELS now homes HWH P4.(HWH P4 also has been seen in SRC ELS)
B Besides HWH P4 it also homes P4s of
1 Erode
2 Royapuram
In future you may see GZB & MGS P4 at SRC ELS, don't get surprised. Because it has WAG7 of various sheds. All these other zones P4s and G7s haul many SER mail/exp now.
Now,
A popular query arises:
Unlike WAP 4s will SRC ELS home WAP7/WAP5 of various Zones in near future?????

I had traveled three times in SDAH NDLS Duronto in June 2010, Sept 2011 and July 2014.
All the journeys of mine had been a "indelible one" in all respect.
The notable positive sides of this train are:
1 Awesome food(both dinner& breakfast) ,praiseworthy punctuality and humble behavior of the "Catering Staff" with respect to serving the food and dealings with
...
more...
the commuters .
2 Compartments are clean and well maintained by the rail staff of Narkeldanga carshed SDAH
3 Good service of the sweepers on board regarding the maintenance of cleanliness of the lavatories.
4 Clean bedsheets & linens provided to passengers
5 Cooperative & amicable behaviour of on board TTEs regarding allotment of berths to RAC/Waitlisted passengers
6 Nice speed and punctuality maintained all over the journey.
To conclude this is one of the best train I think from Kolkata to NDLS route even better than Rajdhani.(From the viewpoint of Fare & other amenities).
I also traveled in Rajdhani in the year 2011,2012 but the amenities are not upto the mark and in fact of poor standard when compared to SDAH Duronto.

Attached Pics:
A. 12260 DN SDAH Duronto at Dhanbad Jn
B. Dinner of 12259 UP NDLS Duronto
C. Loco in Charge of 12260 DN SDAH Duronto HWH WAP7 30329 standing at PF 9C of SDAH
D EOG Van of SDAH NDLS Duronto standing at PF 9 of NDLS
E "Duronto liveried WAP 7" takes the honorable charge of 12259 SDAH NDLS Duronto

I also request the rail fans to make this train as "First Preference" whenever they wish to travel to NDLS from Kolkata.
In a nutshell:
SDAH Duronto is a
1 Nice train
2 First Duronto of IR and
3 Many nostalgic ideals are associated with this train
so my only request is to
"Change it's Loco Link to WAP7 permanently and reinstate the glory of this marvelous service of IR literally and if possible make it a "DAILY SERVICE" like 12267/12268 Mumbai Ahmedabad Duronto".

Request to all users and railfans:
Please give your valuable opinion regarding this "train tip" posted by me.

"ADVANTAGES OF ALSTOM COACHES"------ SPECIAL REPORT
In the wake of the fire mishap in Rajdhani Express, the railways is planning to introduce in general mail and express trains the German technology-based Linke Holfmann Bush (LHB) coaches which have fire-retardant quality and advanced couplers.
Currently LHB coaches are being used only in premier trains like Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto.
“We are planning to introduce

LHB coaches in mail and express trains in a gradual manner as these coaches are equipped with fire retardant material and advanced couplers to join coaches,” said a senior Railway Ministry official.
While it costs Rs. 1.5 crore to manufacture a conventional coach, the LHB coach costs Rs1.6 to 2 crore. LHB coaches are anti-telescopic and cannot turn turtle in the event of any derailment or collision, the official said.
The LHB coaches, manufactured under technology-transfer from Germany, have automatic couplers to join two coaches.
Unlike conventional coaches where one needs to go inside the coach and move through the vestibule to uncouple two coaches, these advanced couplers can be very easily uncoupled from the outside.
Within minutes after the fire started in the pantry in the Mumbai Rajdhani near Thuriya station in Ratlam on Monday, the railway staff uncoupled the three passenger coaches from the pantry. The fire-retardant material used in the coaches ensured that there were no toxic fumes and black smoke that could have hindered visibility.
“All passengers were able to come out of the coaches in time and no passenger was hurt in the fire because of LHB coaches,” said the official.
Earlier also, Rajdhani passengers had a miraculous escape after the Bhubaneswar-New Delhi Rajdhani Express derailed near Gaya. “The derailed LHB coaches stuck to the ground soon after the derailment instead of capsizing and rolling over as a result all passengers were safe.”
Besides the safety aspects, the LHB coaches offer better comforts to passengers. “The LHB coaches are fitted with microprocessor controlled high capacity air-conditioning system, which gives passengers better comforts during summer and winter season,” said the official.
