Sir the problem is this is such a train which has excess stoppage & thus makes the journey unnecessarily lengthy.Just think about the people who're travelling from DHN To Kerala,more than 55 Hrs is just too much.You get boiled inside the train.Even if you're a Railfan,I can firmly say that after travelling 24 Hrs you will develop fatigue so you cant enjoy the journey any more.We're not against stoppage at SCMN,I've listed many stations with no background at all,it can atleast skip those stations & at least reduce some slcak.The J.T will automatically reduce by 6-7 Hrs.Still it'll be an Exp only with Avg Speed<55 kmph
Then why Janata express, Lal quila are running? Why are not they made into SF and run with 7-10 stops? Every city needs to be connected and that is the funda. And simply asking by giving a list of trains and asking why are they not halting is illogical. There are hardly any trains halt @ Sambalpur road and Sambalpur but trains halt. Is this ROAD station so FAMOUS?DO they need to halt @ Ranchi and HTE which are just 7 kms?
Hello Mr,I've travelled by this route & Dont think me a fool...SCMN & SCM comes within less than a min when travelling by Exp..so either of the stoppage doesnt matter they're one & all same...Its only a convention of Rlys to name two diff stations because from one of them is the major crew changing pt for Freights & I know very well the background of SCM,Goods Bypass,DVD,SCMN etc....The amt of information I've about ur state u may not be having even 1/4th the informataion about my state in terms of Rlys(Now Dont think Andhra is too much Imp !!)
Again repeating,Janata & Lal Quilla are not primarily Passenger Carrying Trains...13351 has 12 SL & 4 AC Coaches & also 4-5 GS....whereas Janata has 6-7 HCPV's & no sleeper at all...Purpose of DHN ALLP & Janata are totally different..please have some knowledge about the background before talking
I have knowledge and hence I could differentiate between two stations. -- I didn't compare with them and I said that every train cannot be SF skipping all stations. Forget Rail knowledge, understand what is said first.
No one can me a fool. Its impossible it seems. But please understand why people prefer SCM than SCMN. Its due to road and bus connectivity. No one get down at SCMN if SCM has a stop. Just visit personally why SCM preferred.
Enough about These Junction next time I will start a discussion about Chaparmukh Jn..& I cordially invite all of you to be present there.Please distribute & share ur knowledge there also..Every part of the country deserves ur Indepth knowledge.
