No Sir,no Loco Reversal needed.....Panskura Jn is a Triangular Like Station,with a 'B' Link Cabin diverting the Trains towards Haldia directly coming from SRC side.

For ur confirmation,you can check with the Google Map.I think that is the fool & final proof :-p
Check the Line curving out southwards b/w Panskura & Narayan Pakuria Murail P.H. .GMap resolution 500 m:1 cm best for viewing the details.

There is a link line which connects Hwh - Kgp main line to Pku - Haldia line just before Panskura station while coming from Hwh side. This way trains coming from Hwh bypass Pku and avoid a reversal. However since this train does go to Pku, it has to have a reversal.

ABSOLUTELY RIGHT SIR, whoever you are. So while it is possible to go from Howrah to Haldia without loco reversal by taking the by-pass curve before Panskura, once the Haldia-bound train goes to Panskura, LOCO REVERSAL or DIRECTION REVERSAL in case of EMUs, is a must. Thanks for the clarification.

@412662-8 @pkvenkatramani**

I agree with you Sir... While the EMUs from HWH go to Panskura to get a loco reversal, but the Express trains from Howrah side (ex. Paharia, Tamralipta, Duronto, etc) take the bye-pass line and skip Panskura.. Again, the Express trains coming from KGP side (ex. Samudra Kanya, ASN-Digha, ASN- Haldia) goes over Panskura, and at most probable, gives a halt there..

I think HWH - HLZ EMU must touch Panskura. The reason is; the daily passenger coming from KGP side can board the EMU from Panskura. But is the EMU takes the bypass line (which was mainly for goods rake in earlier days) then the KGP passengers going to Haldia have to travel all the way upto Mecheda to take bus. It will coat them extra an hour. I think the current arrangement is good.
The first express train (inagurated by Madam duirng NDA regim) was from Shalimar Haldia which use to take the bypass lane and had stoppages at Santragachi, Mecheda, Tamluk and HPL gate (forgot thr name of the stop probly Durganagar). I don’t know if this train is still in operation. This was a flop show; except on the weekend there were hardly 10 passengers in one coach. It...

Shalimar- Haldia Express is discontinued now... Currently, there are two Express trains running from Haldia. Namely Haldia Chennai Weekly Sangrami Express and Haldia Asansol Express (6 days a week)..
