durg nzm hs enter nzm pf3 behind bia p7 for the very first time.
- delayed by 40 minutes. ( manual Announcement made as durg nzm special)
- trolled in the whole route by cgsk ( which reached nzm with delay of 20 minutes)
- about 50% patronage observed at nzm
-...
more... obviously coaches were beautiful shining with curtains, fire extinguisger , lcd panel, R.O. all in place, inaugural flowers in the loco remain intact:D. All coaches except PC earmarked for SECR. PC was like a red broken tooth in the rake
- most importantly, train departed with delay of 1.5 hrs, managed the delay in first half of route itself, was running up to palwal 5 minutes early. This means if railway want it to be a success then slack in TT ( around 2 hrs) should be removed.
- days of operation should be changed from tuesday to wednesday or sunday otherwise durg - jat exp ( which has slot sharing with cgsk ) will take up its most of the passengers.( On sunday there is no direct train other than utkal and there is great demand for that day in bsp -kte route ) If TT and days of operation is not improvised it will be sheer wastage of precious resources (like such a beautiful rake) .
- in return direction most demanded slot ( 3.50 pm ) has been given to nzm durg special fare ac special so that railway can rake up more money from passengers. This slot should have been given to this train.
