For present route, Chandil halt may not be needed till it is not diverted via Chandil - Namkum future short cut if it is diverted
At least one of two places among Jhargram, Ghatsila may be new halts halt(s) if number of passengers is not good but time is needed to know the number of passengers
Kothsila halt may be for operational purpose, otherwise it is not needed
Fare is an important matter

After constructing Chandil - Namkum (alternate proposal was Kandra Namkum) short cut, via Tata will be much better than via BKSC Bokaro S C and then RNC Ranchi (RNC) - TATA passengers will be available but presenlty even not via PRR Puruliya (PRR) or via Suisa is long route between Chandil - Namkom then (after completion of that short cut) via PRR Purulia will be a bad route for RNC Ranchi passengers
VIa ASN Aansol, PRR Purulia is also not possible as RNC Ranchi Shatabdi, PNBE Patna VB Howrah Vande Bharat will cut the share of DGR, Durgapur, ASN Asansol passengers
Otherwise TATA route should be reserved for RNC Ranchi VB Vande Bharat and not for ROU Rourkela VB Vande Bharat which may be thinking of some people
Initially, after completion of PRR Purulia - Gar Jaipur doubling, it is expected that speed will be increased via present route - may be 10 minutes will be saved but later, Chandil - Namkum short cut (Avoiding both Suisa, PRR) Purulia) may save an hour than present and 50 minutes than the expected time after completion of that doubling
Train may run two different routes 3-4 days via one route and 2-3 days via another after constructing that short cut - both via Purulia and not via Purulia
Fare is an important matter
