Fellow Members of IRI,Presenting you the India's Longest Rajdhani aka 21 coach Patna Rajdhani at it's aggressive best.
Rajdhani lovers witness how WAP4 led India's Longest Rajdhani 21 Coach Patna Rajdhani smashes Fog and Rockets past Chola at MPS.
As soon as i got down at Chola on a cold and foggy morning,the first sight i got to see was that the signal of UP line to NDLS was all green,as i knew that it would definitely be ECR king aka Patna Rajdhani,so out of excitement i just hopped across the tracks and

got to the platform to catch this rare train in MPS action.
And there it was the 12309 Rajender Nagar Rajdhani "the Longest rajdhani of India" led by mighty MGS WAP-4#22822 first comes smashing past the Fog and then tears the tracks at MPS.
WAP4 surely was given a daunting task to haul this 21 long coach Rajdhani train and it appeared through it's aggression that it passed the test with flying colors ,I just wish someday it gets a 3-phase loco,it will be a total delightful moment for me.
This was my first catch of 12309,which has now become the longest Rajdhani in terms of coaches with effect from 22nd October 2012.

VGM Manish. Surely an additional train between Patna and Delhi is required. One AC Express and one Janasadharan Express

Instead or running trins towards patna if they run train in the route Cpr-Hjp-Mfp-Dbg then the rush on these trains will come down.. You know everytime I get down from a Patna Bound train I find at least 200-300 people getting down and heading towards bus stand to catch bus for Darbanga or Muzaffarpur, or Sitamarhi..
The problem is that this rooute is fully ignored and there are less trains plying in that region.. I am from Muzaffarpur, but to travel in 3AC i had to go via patna as the trains get full on the opening day itself... This year I have travelled 10 times and every time I went via Patna...

The reasons r :-
PNBE - NDLS route is comparatively faster than SPJ - NDLS route..
A pax from SPJ/MFP will reach NDLS in almost half the time through PNBE then through GKP...
As far as trains are concerned,i think both routes are given equal priority...

I think Manish bhai that Anand vihar-Patna Special which runs on LHB rake is definitely not getting any priority,also the train is always running late,so i think the IR guys should transfer this rake to any other train and start running a Gari Rath on this NDLS-Darbangha Route to patna,in this way the pressure on Bihar SK will reduce and also the train will be having a massive patronage reason being the common man can afford the ticket.

    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...
