Table 1 - NR - 1977TT
History of 84/ 114 : This began as DLI - LKO Express. Was extended to BSB on 4 days via Faizabad (84) and 3 days via Sultanpur (114). Then began a series of extensions/ curtailments - Danapur, Malda Town, Mathura via Tundla (cancelled now), Bhiwani (cancelled now). For some time the train used to split at Tundla with one part going to Mathura. It was known as the Ganga Yamuna Express in those days.

The Assam mail resembles the present NE express. There is no train close to Tinsukia mail though. What about this 11/12 DLI-HWH express, is the new Avtaar of it Lal Quila?
