If extended till BKSC, where will the rake be kept. BKSC has 3 pfs and one is already occupied by a menu? As per IR at least 2 pfs should be empty for any emergency situation.
PRR has 4 pfs still most of the time its kept at chhara as its pfs are smaller to take up a freight. So the freight is kept at PRR (pf no.2) and the rake in charra. If freight traffic is less rake is even kept at PRR(pf no.2).
I have been seeing many extension requests from...
more... ASN, GMO, DHN, RNC,BKSC, TATA..,regarding this train ..why? because you all think that PRR is incapable of handling a long distance train. You all think that your station has more traffic than PRR and can handle it better. All of you are wrong. KYQ, DBRG ...are all departing empty trains. DBRG Raj starts full vacant and gets slight traffic at GHY followed by ncb, njp etc.. KYQ also starts all its train vacant. Some of you want till RNC, some till DHN.. Some till tata.. Dear friends, I would like to state that its better to have the train originating at the center of us(PRR). I am a pass of tata and I had recently travelled in it.I felt PRR to be the best originating station among all for this train. And who told that the train starts empty? Its already moderately packed from PRR and hard to get tickets. Purulia is no more a town of 20th century. Its the 2nd fastest growing city after Asansol.
Rather than thinking of extensions think for more passenger trains which wil be beneficial for all.
