I believe this Vande Bharat can be regarded as the undisputed "king" of Indian Railways (though I personally dislike this term. Every train, whether it's a MEMU, Passenger, or Intercity, is a king as they play a crucial role in serving thousands of passengers and stations. For some groups, a specific MEMU might be more important than even a Rajdhani. It's unfortunate that the term "king" has gained such popularity within the railway community, but I have yet to find a more fitting alternative word to king, so I'll use it for now.)

I say this because:

- This was the first Vande Bharat train.
- It has consistently maintained the highest average speed in Indian Railways, despite other trains, like those on the NZM-AGC sector, reaching speeds of 160 kmph.
- It frequently overtakes several other trains, including other Vande Bharat services like the Ayodhya Vande Bharat.
- This particular Vande Bharat is set to become the first to be replaced by a 20-coach rake.
- No new halts have been added to this train ever since it got inaugurated.

Mujhe lagta hai yeh Vande Bharat Indian Railways ka "king" mana ja sakta hai (halanki mujhe personally yeh term pasand nahi hai. Har train, chahe MEMU ho, Passenger ho, ya Intercity, king hi hoti hai kyunki woh hazaron passengers aur stations ki service karti hai. Kuchh groups ke liye, ek specific MEMU Rajdhani se bhi zyada important ho sakta hai. Yeh unfortunate hai ki "king" term railway community mein itna popular ho gaya hai, lekin mujhe abhi tak "king" ka koi fitting alternative word nahi mila hai, toh main abhi ke liye yeh use karunga).

Main yeh isliye keh raha hu:

- Yeh pehla Vande Bharat train tha.

- Isne consistently Indian Railways mein sabse zyada average speed maintain ki hai, iske baavajood ki dusre trains, jaise ki NZM-AGC sector ke trains, 160 kmph ki speed pe chalte hain.

- Yeh frequently kai dusre trains ko overtake karta hai, jismein Ayodhya Vande Bharat jaise dusre Vande Bharat services bhi shamil hain.

- Yeh particular Vande Bharat pehla train banne wala hai jisko 20-coach rake se replace kiya jaayega.

- Is train mein inauguration ke baad se koi bhi new halts nahi add kiye gaye hain.

A surprise drop-in from Shri Satish Kumar, the guy on the Railway Board now and the next Chairman, to Prayag Jn and Phaphamau Jn shows how bad NR Lucknow is at their job. They’re super behind on finishing railway stuff for the Mahakumbh coming up in 150 days, plus they’ve messed up the basic facilities for the passengers at these two spots. Recently, GM NR swung by Prayagraj and was not happy with how slow things are moving, and even the Railway Board Chair Jaya Sinha is fed up with NR Lko’s work. But after all the high-ups yelling at DRM NR, nothing’s changed here. One example of NR messing up is that they shut down Annie Besant road for an underpass back in Nov 2023 and said it would be done by Feb 28, 2024. Now, 6 months later, they’re barely at 70%, while NER built 2 underpasses on the Jhunsi side in about 6 months, and they’re not known for being quick either. It’s time NR Lko hands over every station in Prayagraj district to NCR, or honestly, just transfer the whole division to NCR or NER. Just another annoyed rant about how NR Lko rolls.

Shri Satish Kumar ka surprise visit Prayag Jn aur Phaphamau Jn pe NR Lucknow division ki kamzoriyon ko dikha deta hai. Inka kaam Mahakumbh se pehle khatam karne mein kafi peeche hai jo ki 150 din baad hone wala hai aur saath hi inhone in dono stations pe passengers ko di jaane wali basic facilities bhi khatam kar di hain. Hal hi mein GM NR ne Prayagraj ka visit kiya aur yahan ke kaam ki speed se naraazgi jatai. Current Railway Board Chairperson Jaya Sinha ne bhi NR Lko ke kaam pe frustration dikhai, par itne saare high level officers ke daantne ke baad bhi DRM NR koi sudhaar nahi laa pa rahe hain. NR ki ik misaal hai ki unhone Annie Besant road ko Nov 2023 mein underpass banane ke liye block kiya aur bola ki yeh Feb 28, 2024 tak ho jayega, aur 6 mahine delay ke baad ab tak 70% target tak nahi pahunch paye hain. Badi hasi ki baat hai ki NER ne Jhunsi side pe 2 underpasses sirf 6 mahine mein bana liye aur unka bhi speedy work ka naam nahi hai. Ab NR Lko ka samay aa gaya hai ki wo Prayagraj district ki har station NCR ko transfer karein, ya shayad poore division ko NCR ya NER ko bhejne ka sochna chahiye. Bas yeh aur ek nafrat bhari rant NR Lko ke work culture par.
