I can never understand this War between Trains..
First thing is one should never compare two Trains running on different routes (not talking abt SK and Poorva here)
How can u compare two Trains prestige and Legendary status just by speed..Speed se Prestige and Preference in a zone/division and Status ni bnta trains ka..
Gatiman can run at 160 becuz it runs on a...
more... route capable of running trains at 160.
Lucknow Mail runs at a route capable of 100-110, iska maltab ye ni h k woh 130-140 run ni krskti each LHB Train can run at that speed..bas route route ki hai..but usse uski prestige and Preference and status kam ni hojaega..
CNB Shatabdi is above in Avg speed that LKO Shatabdi but still NAWAB will and always be on top agar dono ko compare kro prestige and Legendary status mein..
Compare hmesha 2 trains ko tabhi kro jab unka route (Starting ending point) speed , Rake Stoppages same ho..
How can u compare TN or AP or SK jab sab kuch alag h unka..
And at any point to end as an outsider Yes Poorva has the legendary status and it will always be
But still Preference k mamle mein NCR mein SK abhi upar h usse cuz it's Non stop and gets help from Rajdhani..
