Let me share a story with you. Because I'm not very old, during my childhood and early pre-teen years, the internet was widely accessible. I've always been passionate about trains, and as a young rail enthusiast, I would spend time researching different types of trains, watching videos and vlogs on YouTube, checking their average speeds, and so on.

When I first learned about Duronto trains, they represented the ultimate dream for a young train enthusiast like me. I was captivated and amazed by the idea of traveling from source to destination with

minimal stops. This is something I always fantasized about.

Even in the vlogs and videos I watched, Duronto trains appeared to receive the same high priority as Rajdhani Express trains.

As I've grown older, I've noticed a decline in various premium trains such as the Rajdhani and Shatabdi, but the most significant impact has been on the Duronto trains.

From ill-conceived extensions, such as the Sealdah Duronto, to unnecessary diversions like the Howrah Duronto, many of these trains, including the Howrah–CSMT Duronto, are experiencing severe punctuality issues. Additionally, more and more stops are being added to the Duronto trains, further diminishing their original appeal.

Only VBs seem to be gaining all kind of traction thesedays.

The only mistake of Duronto series is that the train was inaugurated by Mamata. The series could have been so much more than what they currently are, connecting many of the metropolitan regions with each other. The train could have been the Rajdhani between state capitals at large distances, but the current govt would never revive and add new trains to this series since there is a good chance that opposition would claim the trains as their own hard work. Now this work would hopefully be done by the Sleeper Vande Bharat trains.

I agree, Durontos could've been in much better shape and form if only the government and railway ministry worked on it.

Durontos also served Sleeper passengers along with AC passengers, providing premium quality facilities to both of them and good speed too.

What happened to Durontos later happened to Humsafars and will happen to VBEs as well once the govt changes. And govt will obviously change some day. Every govt overdoes their own category of trains and then the next govt replaces previous govt routes with their own category. Duronto was actually introduced on the original Rajdhani concept. When Rajdhani was first introduced, it also had technical halts, later changed to commercial.
