Re# 6018017-36              
That is why extensions are such a sham and so detrimental to the original station in the first place. BKSC is allocated PQWL in 13351 that was it's own train once.
RNC Division has cut off BKSC from several of it's train inspite of the fact that both lie in SER, because the divisional changeover is there. MURI lies in RNC Division and leaps the benefits of GNWL there.
Similarly ASN is now facing the RLWL axe on several trains originating from KOAA side.

That is why I was originally sympathetic to the guy from MLDT when Farakkha got extended. While MLDT retains GNWL as of now, it is likely to be discarded from the next ARP, as zonal changeover is there.

Re# 6018017-38              
Quota distribution depends upon the will of the zone and division. For instance, there is only GNWL quota on 18619/20 Intercity Express. RNC - MURI(incl) is under SER/RNC division, MURI(excl) - CRP(excl) is under SER/ADRA division, CRP(incl) - PKA(incl) is under ECR/DHN division, PKA(excl) - DUMK(incl) is under ER/ASN division, and DUMK(excl) - GODA is under ER/MLDT division.

SER can well accomodate BKSC under GNWL quota for SER/RNC and SER/CKP division originating trains.

Point taken, but such allowances won't be made for comparatively long distance trains like Delhi and North India bound trains.
Hope you catch my point. That's why I believe that extension of any trains is ultimately a major loss for the initial originating/terminating stations.

Re# 6046040-18              
You are missing two critical points here.
1. The Southern states are situated a long way away from the national capital. Any deviations enroute don't contribute much additional distances overall to the whole journey. On the other hand West Bengal is situated at substantially shorter distance, where any subsequent deviations from the shortest route add up significantly.
2. Geography of WB state. WB is big from South to North but comparatively narrow. As such the shortest route from North Bengal to New Delhi would increase substantially as can be seen if you just

use the shortest path link on IRI. Not withstanding other operational hassles such as multiple zonal changes.

Disagree:Not useful. Disagree:Not required
Sealdah - Ajmer Express should have a halt for atleast 2 minutes at Dakshineswar. Previously Lal Quila Express was the only option for Dakshineswar to Delhi, now Lal Quila Express is cancelled permanently and there is no train from Dakshineswar to Delhi. If Sealdah - Ajmer Express gets halt at Dakshineswar, Passengers can deboard at Agra and then catch any Delhi Bound train from Agra.

Ajmer Express halt should be a replacement Halt for Lal Quila Express towards Kanpur. Before 2014, only Lal Quila Express had gone towards Kanpur from Dakshineswar, after cancellation of 13111, no train from Dakshineswar has a halt for Kanpur, Tundla bound trains.

Got to know this from my father, on 24.4.24 enquiry counter officials were saying 12021 Janshatabdi will depart but don't know when. This was happening repeatedly and people lost their cool. They broke the window panes. RPF had to come to the spot. This has become a daily affair for 12021/22, arrive late, depart late. Can't they just cancel one run and make it on time? And make it run very close to the schedule (if not exactly on the schedule) everyday? Oh sorry, obviously freight is the lifeline of SER, passenger trains are not at all important.

That's just level 1 case. In KGP-HWH section, Office time commuters beat the shit out of late running PKU-HWH EMU local's Guard after it went to loop at MCA. Even the RPFs were clueless to tackle the mob. "Punctuality isn't the responsibility of stations' staffs", inscribed on walls in Bengali after they marched into station building asking questions. Hardly, few articles published. No coverage to national media.

Even SER Mazdoor Union or any such body of SER (pardon, I forgot the name) had written a letter on this. Zero action taken. Don't know what happened to SER CKP division, it is giving a nearly proper run to 13288/87 since a week. It had been running many hours late in the past month ever since it got extended to Ara.

Situation is totally out of control from SER. Only 4th and 5th line can solve this problem but it will not happen due to State and Central ego. Nowadays SHM bound trains was halted at BVA , SEL , ADL , ULB for 1-2hrs due to so much load at SRC - SHM line but SER still not complete that SEL SHM Project!
