It is surprising that the train does not touch BPL which is as important as INDB and Bairagarh does not serve BPL satisfactorily.
Indore already have a direct train to BSP via katni, but does not have direct connectivity to Gondia, Durg, Raipur. Moreover NGP does not have daily connectivity with Indore.

This train could have been introduced via NGP-BPL/HBJ-NGP-R-BSP....
more... This route should be about 80kms longer, but on faster trunk lines and would have covered big cities like NGP, BPL, Raipur, Durg-Bhilai resulting in much better patronage.
