Many cities still have their old legacy still with them. If I am correct, it is still called "Bombay High Court" despite the name change done even earlier.
In Railways context, sometimes they change the name of the city but not the station code. I think Chennai still uses "MS" and "MAS" from it's Madras days. The oldest example I can think of is Kanpur having the station code "CNB", from when it was called "Cawnpore", which was really a long time ago.

Prayag as an alternative name for Allahabad is also old, I think. The Prayag station on LKO-PRYJ line is quite old and so was "Prayag Ghat" before it was renamed to "Prayagraj Sangam".
please wait...Translate to EnglishYo, lots of cities are still holding on to their old-school vibes. Like, I'm pretty sure they're still rollin' with "Bombay High Court," even though they changed the name ages ago.
In the train scene, sometimes they switch up the city name but keep the station code the same. Like, Chennai's still rockin' "MS" and "MAS" from its Madras days. The OG move was with Kanpur keeping it real with station code "CNB" from its "Cawnpore" era way back.
Prayag as a chill alias for Allahabad has been around for a minute too, I reckon. The Prayag station on the LKO-PRYJ route has been there for ages, just like "Prayag Ghat" before they rebranded it to "Prayagraj Sangam."
please wait...Translate to HindiBahot saare shehron ke paas abhi bhi unka purana waris hai. Agar main sahi hoon, toh abhi bhi "Bombay High Court" hi kehte hain, naam badalne ke baad bhi.
Railways ke context mein, kabhi kabhi sheher ka naam badal dete hain, lekin station code nahi badalte. Main lagta hai Chennai ab bhi "MS" aur "MAS" use karta hai, jab yeh Madras tha. Sabse purana udaharan mujhe lag raha hai Kanpur ka station code "CNB", jab yeh "Cawnpore" ke naam se jana jata tha, jo sach mein bahut purani baat hai.
Prayag Allahabad ke liye ek alternative naam bhi purana hai, meri samajh mein aata hai. LKO-PRYJ line par Prayag station kaafi purana hai aur "Prayag Ghat" bhi tha, jab uska naam badal kar "Prayagraj Sangam" kar diya gaya.
