Yesterday I was travelling in agniveena exp from Durgapur to Howrah. The train came jampacked from Asansol and most of the people boarding from Durgapur didn't succeeded to get a seat.
Not only agniveena exp, all trains from coming from asansol and dhanbad like Coalfield, Black diamond, Asansol Sealdah Intercity, Asansol Bardhaman MEMU, etc comes packed from Asansol, Dhanbad, Raniganj, etc. So people of Durgapur don't get any seat in any one of these intercity trains. Infact, 13 coacher Hool exp also runs packed from Siuri, so it's rough to get a seat in Hool express also
I...
more... don't understand why ER is not running a dedicated train between Durgapur and Howrah.
When a B class station like Bolpur has 2 dedicated train for Howrah, then why a A class and an important industrial city like Durgapur don't get any dedicated train???
