I want to book a ticket from Varanasi to Ahmedabad in train no. 15668 Kamakhya to Gandhidham. Date - 05/12/2024.
The ARP is open. However, I can't see this train on the list after 28th Nov.

Is there any news? This is a regular train and not a special one. So, there is less chance of stopping this rake share.

Any help and info is appreciated.

Thanks

Just look at the regular running of this train in both directions... There is a considerable scope to bring down the Running time to 8:30 hrs flat in existing route.

So with a 8 Car VB rake, SR should positively consider running this service with regular no as under :

ERS

Just a curiosity about the route map of this train !

Curiosity - Neither does this particular train touches Deoghar nor does it touches Ayodhya but upon introduction it was mentioned to connect both. Couldn't it be routed more wisely and made to run via Gomti Nagar-Barabanki-Ayodhya Dham and then via Kiul-Jasidih-Deoghar-Hansdiha-Godda. It's interesting to know that why the mighty heavyweight MP behind this train agreed to via Bhagalpur. No offense to public of Bhagalpur, as it's a prominent city of Bihar and there were less connection from Lucknow to Bhagalpur

but still if it was routed via Barauni Jhajha Deoghar Hansdiha it would've been more convenient and according to me it could've gained no less patronage than the current route.

Problems #1 - If you want to board this train from Deoghar you need to travel approx 50 kms to Hansdiha from Deoghar. I also know that there are several local DEMUs running from Deoghar to Hansdiha/Godda which if run on time matches with this train's timings, but it's not a hidden fact in today's scenario that they hardly gain any attention nor do they run on time. You wouldn't want to miss your long distant train due to a late running DEMU. If you opt for other modes, you either hire a cab or go by bus. None of them are convenient. Hiring a cab is not possible for every person economically and going by bus is not convenient for older-aged family members.
Problem #2 - Now talking about Hansdiha, there's not even a properly maintained Waiting Hall. A shabby room with wooden benches and unclean-unhygienic toilets and without any proper ventilation leave about ACs. It feels too unsafe as in my case I encountered a drunkard abusing waiting passengers including women and children while the station staff was the least concerned. I heard their talks and it was all about their transfer and postings. It appeared Hansdiha was more of a punishment posting.

With all these problems, I feel this train is running on wroung route. Ideally it must run as follows:
(Gomti Nagar-Barabanki-AyodhyaDham-Mankapur) and (Barauni-Kiul-Jhajha-Jasidih-Deoghar-Hansdiha-Godda).

*Just a fact to be known: Do not leave a chance to taste the delicious SoanPapdi famous in Dumka which is easily available in Hansdiha in and out of station. There's a market at Hansdiha Chowk hardly 1 to 1.5 kms from the station. There are plenty of shops selling fresh soanpapdi made from DesiGhee and RefinedOil both.
