IR is planning to withdraw some Duronto trains and convert in into Superfast trains to increase revenue.
It will be interesting to see if Nagpur Duronto will enter the list? Although, NGP Duronto is popular and grosser train on holidays and in peak season, on weekdays, this train see poor occupancy.
I think this train will not be one of the Duronto's to be withdrawn. But if it is, it should be converted into a Superfast with only halts at Badnera, Akola, Bhusawal (technical halt) and Kalyan. Still the train will be grosser...
more... and people from Badnera and Akola will get a Superfast connection to Mumbai. I think a 2-3 min halt at these stations will not affect the overall schedule of this train.
Either this train can be continued to run as 12289 Nagpur Duronto (on Friday and Saturday) and 12290 Mumbai Duronto (on Saturday and Sunday) as there is heavy rush from NGP and Mumbai side on these days. So, people from NGP will have their own Duronto on these two days. For rest of the week, the train can be a Superfast one.
please wait...Translate to HindiIR ne kuch Duronto trains ko wapas lena ka plan banaya hai aur unhe Superfast trains mein convert karne ka socha hai taaki revenue badh sake.
Yeh dekhne layak hoga ki kya Nagpur Duronto is list mein shamil hoga? Haan, NGP Duronto holidays aur peak season mein dhansoo chalti hai lekin weekdays mein isme kam log safar karte hain.
Mujhe lagta hai ki yeh train un Duronto trains mein se nahi hogi jo wapas li jayegi. Par agar ho gayi, toh use Badnera, Akola, Bhusawal (technical halt) aur Kalyan par sirf rukne dena chahiye. Fir bhi yeh train bure se behtar rahegi aur Badnera aur Akola ke logon ko Mumbai ke liye Superfast connection milega. Mujhe lagta hai ki in stations par 2-3 min ka rukav is train ke overall schedule ko prabhavit nahi karega.
Ya toh yeh train chalti rahe as 12289 Nagpur Duronto (Jumma aur Shanivar ko) aur 12290 Mumbai Duronto (Shanivar aur Ravivar ko) taki NGP aur Mumbai ke logon ke liye rush days par alag Duronto ho. Baaki dinon ke liye, yeh train Superfast ho sakti hai.
