In your opinion why are Indian trains not as shiny and elegant looking as trains from Europe/ America/ Japan?

To some extent, yes. But all the trains don't run through polluted areas I suppose.

Previous TT was NOQ 17:40 (sometimes 17:15), NJP 20:45 and SDAH 06:45. I don't see any reason of making such an impossible and aggressive TT in between NOQ-NJP, having NJP departure preceed by 1 hour and having overtaken by Darjeeling Mail.

Re# 5150145-2              
Halt was revoked in the year of 1984 because of regular nuisance caused by BWN based daily passengers. 36830/ 36835 (Super) was introduced as a compensation. And to be honest, even after so many years the BWN based DPs are still the same arrogant and rude. Just travel in 36830 on any weekday and you will understand how justified was that halt removal decision. ЁЯШБ

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
