This list of ‘ Duronto’ trains is a very welcoming and well overdue move from the Indian Rail.
Let’s see how fast they are implemented and ,more importantly, how fast they reach their
destinations without any chain pullings / dharna-s at the intermediate stations / slow motions…
Good luck !

Duronto, sounds good, will it really work though? Mumbai – Howrah & Mumbai- Ahmedabad are heavy routes and then should not start from KURLA though as Kurla station in Mumbai still needs a bit of infrastructure and connectivity.

IT A GOOD NEWS THATS DURONTO WILL START SOON NON STOP FROM MUMBAI TO AHMEDABAD BUT IT MUST BE DAILY & SHOULD BE START FROM MUMBAI CENTRAL STATION & NOT FROM BANDRA TERMINUS AS BANDRA TERMINUS IS NOT SITUTATED PROPERLY & PEOPLE DOEST REACH ON TIME DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC & NARROW ROAD………..
