Current Status
After the inauguration of Anand Vihar Terminal, the train was scheduled to originate/terminate at Anand Vihar Terminal (ANVT), but the plan was abandoned due to its glorious past when it was the only premiere train in absence of 12309/12310 RJBP NDLS Rajdhani Express and Sampoorna Kranti Express and Vikramshila Express.
The train has lost its significance thanks to some petty politics of appeasements by railway ministers. Since its extension to Islampur the train is delayed regularly be it up route or down route. In earlier days before 2000, it used to be a premiere train on the Patna New Delhi Section with bang on time Schedule.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or status:
“I don’t see America as a mainland, but as a sea, a big ocean. Sometimes a storm arises, a formidable current develops, and it seems it will engulf everything. Wait a moment, another current will appear and bring the first one to naught.”
—Jacques Maritain (1882–1973)
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
—Alison Clarke-Stewart (20th century)
