Yeah, via PCOI will be little faster but there is no scope due to congestion and Dhanbad to Mumbai train must cover whole dhanbad division ie via CRP, BRKA bypass, GHD, CPU bypass. So from GAYA to Mumbai via DDU CHUNAR CHOPAN SGRL KTES JBP ET BSL KYN is a good route available and slot of JSJ via BRKA can be used for it from Gaya to Chunar. Gaya departure 22:00 CAR 02:00 to 2:30 CPU 5:00, SGRL 7:30 KTES 11:00 LTT 04:00 . Total 30 hrs.
