Yes the patronage as seen in this quarter has impressed a lot. But through out the year some better patronage is needed. Why i am pressing better patronage, because number of coaches has to be increased which will cut operating cost and earn more revenue.
.
The target should be in coming year 1 AC CC coach should be increased.
.
The timings, the quality of food and service has to be maintained. Passenger faith is important thing. Once this happen their will be always some regular passenger for this train.

A foreign couple was touring India through Indian Railway :
was getting warm welcome every where they went.
Their last itinerary was ending with tour from NJP to HWH.
At HWH station they were confronted by a media person who asked them many questions about India, Indian culture and heritage. During the course of questioning, crowd gathered, to watch what is going on.
in answer to question the male foreigner said 'Indians great in discipline'...
Crowd was hearing only one sentence 'Indians Great in discipline' and they were clapping .. only one person was seriously watching without giving any response.
...
Read more...
Media person noticed , the serious person is not giving any response but making grim face, Media person became curious, why this man is not giving any response, but kept quiet.
As the questioning came to end, foreigners went their way, crowd dispersed.
Media person's curiosity was goading him to confront the serious Indian. He questioned to him, 'why were you so serious through out questioning and not responding' ?
serious person retorted 'Indians Great in-discipline'
media person could not understand, and said sorry, sir, what did you say?
Serious person said 'indiscipline' is not Two words but one word...
Media person was starring blank,
serious person had disappeared by then...

Skipping Rampurhat - 12042 Shatabdi (March 2, 2013) : We were approaching Rampurhat and the train continued to impress with just two halts in its 359 km run (Kishanganj and Malda Town) and an average speed of 70.6 kmph. I was somewhat peeved that a freight train was blocking my view of the Kanchejunga Exp. and sprinted to the other side to get a better view of the station. A satisfying skip!

I am quite amazed to see the priority the train is getting... This is what a Shatabdi is to be... I think this will create lots of faith among passenger...

Over the past few months I've been Observing this train almost every day, I was glorified to see that the Demand of this train has increased in rapidly over the last few months, and with such great importance over its route, the Occupancy has gone nearly thrice of expected!
Its Punctuality, specially since last 6 months, is somewhat jealous-able for others
Its comfortable journey, restless speed, MouthWatering Food ,Large Windows Providing Excellent Chances of Observing Natural Beauty is drawing Foreign-National Tourists as well as Common Travellers to this train, Also Some Railway Staff in NFR Said to me that one more reason of its popularity is the highlight of this train in the media, specially the internet,Some point to feel proud

So, without any doubt, it is safe to tag it a #SmashHit or #Blockbuster, and it is undoubtedly a #MustSpot Train for a Railfan!
Clearly the the New #Elite Train of IR

That's what we call supporters... Actually i was planning for such kind of write up for many days... In few occasion i came up with people asking about the kind of food this train serves to passenger... Every one is very much curious...
And also its a day train i thought why not describe the places the the train travels... May be if someone in future is travelling with this train then he/she will be well aware of the places the train goes through...
Just like when the train reaches Malda Town you can say this was once capital of Bengal...

Yes ER and NFR are giving to TOP PRIORITY to this in Howrah - New Jalpaiguri route... Even railway fan has observed this... I think its over all IR decision to make Shatabdi run timely... Occupancy has increased many fold...

yes...it is true...kaniska has proved himself a very good writer....this is not a mere eulogy to him but it is fact that whatever he writes is not a mere jugglery of words but a beautiful painting of a beautiful artist with soft corner(as we notice for those catering staff)....@ Kanishka...keep it up....

we always demanded that timing of this train should be reversed but to our surprise this train proves us wrong....it is getting huge popularity towards NJP than towards HWH...though timing a bit odd and not favourable for tourist....

Its my personal view point it would had better if this was to run between Sealdah and New Jalpaiguri...
With a additional 2 min stoppage at Bidhan Nagar Road Station...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If Shatabdi is meant for Business Class and Premier segment customer: My analysis goes like this...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bidhan Nagar Road Station which is very near to Salt Lake. Salt Lake/Rajarhat is now booming with Corporate Sector Office & many West Bengal Govt. Head Office.
South Kolkata will always prefer Sealdah. Sealdah will take less time in reaching Dalhousie/Esplanade/Park Street/Camac Street which is another important
...

Business District/Corporate Sector...
If maximum passenger who are taking this train are from Kolkata City proper and who came to Kolkata City proper for any kind of work then Sealdah is more easy connectivity...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last but not the list Sealdah has always cater North Bengal bound train...

Very good analysis...
.
I have checked and found both EC and CC seats are allocated less... If the stoppage is provided which stoppage due you think... Any news...
.
My guess/priority will be Bardhaman...
.
Bardhaman was needed from first hand...
.
Even the train gives a unscheduled halt @ Bardhaman... What's the problem giving a stoppage...

YES....it may be either Bardhaman or Rampurhat...but the no. of seats allotted to either of them will be less... but no concrete news...HWH quota remains the same..

It will follow Darjeeling Mail Stoppage...
.
Howrah - Bardhaman diatance is 95 Km...
Bardhaman - Bolpur distance is 52 Km...
Bolpur - Rampurhat distance is 60 Km...
.
I think ER will keep option between Bolpur / Rampurhat... Not both...
.
Bardhaman has advantage close proximity to Durgapur/Asansol by good rail connectivity...
.
Other train like Ranchi Shatabdi/Rajdhani do
...
Read more...
not have a stoppage at Bardhaman because they have stoppage at Durgapur...
.
If i am not wrong Bhardhaman is a Economic important place...
I know lot of people come to Bardhaman from North Bengal for Business/Official purpose...
.
If Bardhaman/Rampurhat is both given then it will be 'BETTER THEN BEST'...

I prefer to have a stop only at Bardhaman.....for better connectivity to Durgapur....and in both direction timing will suit to the people to board from bardhaman

Additional 1/2 Stoppage can be made... I do not think it will create much problem... If needed they can increase the speed some what...
In many occasion its is seen train arriving early...
