Mahabodhi ka extension scenario aur infra pe depend karta hai. Total 2 case ho rahe hai.

Case 1) PM shift from ECR to ER.

Agar ECR Mahabodhi ka PM ER ko dena chahta
...

hai to ER sabse pehle Bhagalpur me PM reject kardega kyoki BGP CDO me space boht kam hai aur 4th pit Amrit Bharat ke liye bani hai , usme electrification kiya hua hai . So Mahabodhi ER territory me Malda extension possible hai kyoki BGP se sabse nearest CDO Malda me hai aur waha space slot sab uplabdh hai. Jitne rake uplabdh hogi sab ka PM Malda me possible hai
Note: Just assumption

Case 2) PM shift from ECR to NR

Agar Mahabodhi ka PM Delhi shift hogya to Bhagalpur ke alawa boht option available hai. Dumka , Godda , Rampurhat , Azimganj, Jasidih/Madhupur , Asansol bhi ja sakti hai

Note: These are only assumption & I don't support extension of Mahabodhi express . I am sharing this as Railway Board has will to extend Mahabodhi

Disagree:Lalitpur is generating good revenue
Why it need halt at Morena and Lalitpur? I don't think it earned a substantial revenue from there.

Shifting PM of this train from DLI to NFR is starting of decline of this legendary train of IR

Another one is to terminate it's destination to KYQ make a major role in another reason of decline.

And
...
more...
the rest other formalities are done by KYQ CDO by giving this train's rake a bottom priority

It's is sad to see the legendary train of IR aka BRAMHPUTRA MAIL like this now😓

Re# 6225142-4              
The maintainance of KYQ CDO is satisfactory but when it was under DLI CDO before COVID the maintenance & punctuality were very worst. I travelled in this train from MLDT to NJP, NCB , NOQ back in the days & guess what toilets were literally a Hell you couldn't even stand 1 sec there & train was horribly late by 6-7 hrs those days , just imagine that a train which was scheduled to arrive in midnight but actually arriving in late morning.

However in conclusion I would like to mention
...
more...
only one thing that KYQ CDO definitely needs to improve their PM facilities . All trains from KYQ CDO has cleanliness issues along with other problems like AC not working, water leaking from AC vents etc

Ya literally interior of the train is in bad condition. When it was in Dibrugarh CDO maintenance was good neat and clean. But After PM shifted to Kamakhya CDO maintenance is not soo good . All trains of KYQ CDO maintenance are bad and broken condition.

So you haven’t seen the maintenance of this train when it used to originate from DBRG
The condition was worst when it used to have a PM at dli and even now after short termination at Kyq.

Alternatively, PM could have been transferred back to NR/DLI instead of short termination to KYQ. Anyways, there is 19 hrs lie over at DLI. There is no other daily in day time for dbrg from ghy as replacement.

Hello everyone,

Posting here on IRI after a long time—hope you're all doing well!

I recently traveled on the 20822 Santragachi Humsafar Express, from Santragachi Junction to Panvel Junction, and wanted to share
...
more...
my review.

Date of Journey: 12/10/2024
Loco: Tata WAP7 39109 powered the train.

Punctuality:

Absolutely horrendous, and I mean it! The train is often rescheduled from the source, typically running 4 to 6 hours late. By the time it reaches Panvel, delays can range from 8 to 10 hours, sometimes even stretching to 15 hours, thanks to SER’s prioritization of freight trains.
Luckily, my journey was on time at departure (6 PM from Santragachi), but we reached Panvel on Monday around 2 AM—2 hours late, dated 14/10/2024. We even got overtaken by the 11040 Maharashtra Express at Bhusaval Junction!

For Mumbaikars, I would suggest using this train as a last resort, especially since Santragachi is not easily accessible, and public transportation is limited. Trains like Geetanjali Express or Jnaneswari Express are much better options.

Cleanliness:
There’s OBHS staff dedicated to cleaning every 3-4 hours, but honestly, the coaches were quite dirty, indicating poor primary maintenance by SRC CDO.

Food:
I ordered my meals online—lunch from Nagpur and dinner from Bhusaval—so I can't comment on the pantry car food. However, fellow passengers mentioned that the quality wasn’t great.

Railfanning:
There wasn’t much to see, but if the train is delayed by an hour or so, the Bilaspur-Nagpur Vande Bharat Express overtakes it just before Nagpur. I was fortunate to witness this during my trip.

Ticket Availability:
Except during Durga Puja or other festivals, tickets are usually easy to get. However, given the train's poor punctuality, I recommend considering alternative options for this route.

Safety:
Be mindful of your luggage, as there were no RPF patrols during the night.

Feel free to correct me on any points, and I welcome your comments!

Here are some snaps I took during the journey.

Cheers!
