Let me share a story with you. Because I'm not very old, during my childhood and early pre-teen years, the internet was widely accessible. I've always been passionate about trains, and as a young rail enthusiast, I would spend time researching different types of trains, watching videos and vlogs on YouTube, checking their average speeds, and so on.

When I first learned about Duronto trains, they represented the ultimate dream for a young train enthusiast like me. I was captivated and amazed by the idea of traveling from source to destination with

minimal stops. This is something I always fantasized about.

Even in the vlogs and videos I watched, Duronto trains appeared to receive the same high priority as Rajdhani Express trains.

As I've grown older, I've noticed a decline in various premium trains such as the Rajdhani and Shatabdi, but the most significant impact has been on the Duronto trains.

From ill-conceived extensions, such as the Sealdah Duronto, to unnecessary diversions like the Howrah Duronto, many of these trains, including the Howrah–CSMT Duronto, are experiencing severe punctuality issues. Additionally, more and more stops are being added to the Duronto trains, further diminishing their original appeal.

Only VBs seem to be gaining all kind of traction thesedays.

Great Useful
The TT of 12339 Howrah - Dhanbad Coalfield must be revised. It reaches Dhanbad by 21.45 Hrs. or 21.50 Hrs which creates a huge problem who come to Dhanbad to catch 13307 Ganga Sutlej Express.

Yesterday, Coalfield reached at 21.48 Hrs and many passengers were not able to catch Ganga Sutlej, many caught by running on the platform.

/ ER must make a proposal to change the TT of 12339 Coalfield Express and a arrival at 21.30 Hrs. will be suitable.
