This train is having too slow a schedule for its stops. Arrives DHN 15 mins BT daily even after trailing SDAH Raj which stops at DGR and ASN. Waits at Gaya outer for close to 30 mins for SDAH Raj to depart from GAYA most of the time, after which she closely trails SDAH Raj till NDLS and arrives NDLS Hlf hr before schedule just like DBRT and SDAH Raj. With due respect to the Rajdhanis, SDAH Duru should be leading HWH and SDAH Raj as she is getting slowed down due to their stoppages, especially in HWH-DDU sector. Both the Rajs also have to be speeded up a bit in ASN-DHN and DHN-GAYA sector, but this train should be running ahead of them as she gets a non-stop run in HWH-DHN and DHN-DDU sector, and that would also give HWH and SDAH Rajs a free run behind. Can easily be...
more... speeded up an hour in SDAH-NDLS sector.
