This train remains crowded throughout the year even in the off season.
This train gets slightly empty after BKSC.
So now it depends on you to take this train or not.
Super Express is better than this train.

Thanks for the reply. A couple of questions :
1. You mean it would be better to book in CC ?
2. Which train is "Super Express" ?
3. I am reaching Hatia at 4:00 AM, so I guess 18626 is a good connecting train to Parasnath, any other option ?

i) CC means AC CHAIR CAR
ii) Super Express is a day time train which reaches PNME @4:30 in evening and will nearly reach RNC @ 9:00pm
iii) It depends on you which time you will prefer..

18628 Ranchi - Howrah Intercity running on Sun, Mon & Tuesday @5:45 AM From RNC can also be a good option and you will get seats more than likely. Only thing will be to take Autos to Ranchi Station from Hatia (Pretty easy and early morning it will take max 25-30 Mins to reach a distance of about 7-8 Kms).
