As there was no issue dated October 15, 1926, from the issue dated October 14, 1926
The following is from “The Statesman” of the 13th: A new era as regards comfortable and expedient long-distance railway travelling in India will commence next month, when the East Indian Railway Overland mail train will be replaced by a magnificent train, the Imperial Indian Mail, which, with its handsome colour design of Royal blue and gold, will undoubtedly attract admiring attention throughout its journey from Calcutta to Bombay and vice versa.
Two trains, embodying the latest ideas in luxury travel, are being constructed — one by the East Indian Railway in their Carriage and Wagon Workshops at Lillooah, and the other by the Great Indian Peninsula Railway at Matunga.
‘The Statesman’ understands that the first train will be sent to Bombay in time to convey to Calcutta.
