The name is correctly transliterated by Times of India and Bangladeshi newspapers as "Moitree" or "Maitree". The word is মৈত্রী, Moitree, not মৈত্রেয়ী ("Maitreyei") as written by BBC. The article should be moved to the official/more commonly used title. --Ragib (talk) 22:55, 15 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Here is the official name of the train as used in the official Bangladesh Railway website. [1]. I'm moving it to that title. --Ragib (talk) 22:57, 15 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
