A new Andal bypass line is under construction near Bakhtarnagar cabin. The line on far left is the new line.

This bypass will open Pandora's box for ASN - North Bengal connectivity. Also, rake length of Vananchal Express could be increased. But, some trains having LR at DGR might get rerouted via this bypass.

More than VB, I am in favour for a daily overnighter between ASN - NJP/APDJ.

Not just for ASN, I think this will open up new connectivity options for DHN-ASN belt with SURI,RPH,PKR,SBG,MLDT.
Also scopes improving connectivity between places in Northern Jharkhand like Rajmahal and Sahibganj with state capital Ranchi.

Yes, you are correct. Who knows, we might see a ANVT/DLI - RPH/MLDT Express via - DHN or RNC - NJP Express restoration via - ASN, RPH, PKR, MLDT.

IMO, one more bypass should be constructed joining Down main line of SBG loop with UP main line of HWH - ASN main line. This would ensure trains coming from RPH/BHP side to move seamlessly towards DGR/ASN.

Yes adding a extra RORO service at the Khana link cabin to the UP slow line in the BWN-ASN section, would definitely bolster connectivity with Shantiniketan area with the Shipanchal area.

Another thing that has to be done ASAP is the alternate DC line being built quickly so that the train services between DHN & RNC can be seamless and increased in load. The existing line is on it's last leg and more and more services are being introduced on this line.

New trains like JSME-VSG and the existng running trains on the DC line are running at a great risk, and the expected date of completion of the reallignment i.e 2027 might be a bit too late I am afraid. Who knows whether the existing DC line may survive for that long...

Why cape or NGL without travellers? All trains from Nagercoil get passengers from TVM and Erkm. There is no enough of turnaround time to extend beyond Trivandrum.

No congestion issues at KCVL since only Secondary maintenance will be happening for this train. But return timings depart from KCVL will be 3am. I don't think it will be of much use for passengers....so most likely will run empty till Allp.

Re# 6018017-30              
It was originally BKSC-MAS express with a slip service from TATA if I am not mistaken. Originally a SER train, due to ADRA division's apathy towards the pitline at BKSC, it wasn't looked after well and allowed to rot away. The Primary maintenance of this train was then given to ER and the train was extended to DHN_ER and the train was renumbered to 13351.

BKSC is a strange case where a combination of several factors have ensured that a city of the calibre of Bokaro is devoid of originating/terminating trains.
...
more...

Be it the land issue with BSL that denies the justified increase in number of platforms at BKSC, or the general apathy of SER and ADRA division towards it as a whole. Compounding this problem is the weak political lobby of Dhanbad, under whose Union Legislative seat BKSC lies.

Dhanbad got lucky in some ways, the location was good and ER's ASN Division, and then Dhanbad Division was really beneficial for the region. Dhanbad and Gomoh got pitlines for that reason.

Dhanbad still gets a lot of benefits from ASN Division, that is a undisputed fact. That is the main reason why I always felt that DHN Division shouldn't have be created out of ASN Division in the first place. It would still be beneficial if DHN was reinstated back into ASN.

I have tagged members from BKSC, who will be able to elaborate on the matter in greater details.

It feels bad to see Howrah and Sealdah Rajdhani still waiting for Tejas rake allotment. Mumbai and AK rajdhani and even Patna rajdhani has been given Tejas rakes. Clear cut politics is the reason for ignoring Hwh and Sdah Raj.

Are you serious, or just another overtly sentimental Kannadiga with pride all over your head? When is the last time you took a ride on SBC Raj? If you really take pride in ನಮ್ಮ Bengaluru/Karnataka/SWR, and if you really had travelled by SBC Rajdhani recently, you'd have hung your head in shame!

For God's sake, I have seen rats moving around in that train!!! Even slow moving passenger trains on YPR-Tumkuru-Arsikere or SBC-MYS route are better than SBC Raj (worth the money you pay)! Being one of the first takers of SBC

Raj in April 2012 when it went LHB (back then it still used a WDM3A between SBC and KCG/SC), it's depressing to see South India's only daily and most beloved Rajdhani in such disgraceful conditions today...!
