Obviously, Surat is a big city, just giving a halt also wont work much for them coz I have seen many booking BCT to NZM n keeping boarding pt surat in Rajdhani, Garib raths.
GN quota or separate train would be better option than merely giving halt with PQ, RL quota.
MH ke politicians itne powerful hote to MhSK CR ke pas hoti.
Baat...
more... surat ke logo ki hai jese Nasik n Indore ke politicians plus demanding people r fetching them importance now. same way Surat kar sakta hain.
3no cities ke khudke division bhi nahi hai, still Indore is getting much importance now. even Nasik, GN quota for much of Mumbai-Delhi trains
