Dead End does not mean 'Dead Station' and you did not have to counter it with 'Lively Station'. Indore is a Dead End for BG, does it mean the station is not live? In Mumbai, Kurla Terminus, Bandra Terminus, Dadar Terminus, CSTM, Mumbai Central, Churchgate - all are dead ends and you can see the life there.
The good replies are only the second last and the last affirming the second last.
