This was ought to happen. Because even if both pairs don't have break-neck crowds, they manage quite a good patronage throughout the year.
For what I've seen in ETW, GS boardings are also in pretty decent numbers. And while NCR/PRYJ with it's usual attitude may not add extra halts to the regular train, I agree with you they should definitely try extra halts over NCR for the special.

These districts have people working in Ludhiana, Jalandhar, etc, I don't think revenue will be much of an issue. And definitely, the ultimate solution is extension to SVDK and giving it a full length rake. But with Jammu Mail extension, I'm not so optimistic about that, unless Mahakumbh effect does some magic.
please wait...Translate to EnglishThis was bound to happen, man! Even though the trains don't always have huge crowds, they still get a good number of passengers all year round.
From what I've heard, these trains from GS have a decent amount of people boarding. While NCR/PRYJ might stick to their usual ways and not add extra stops for regular trains, I agree with you that they should definitely consider adding extra stops along NCR for the special trains.
These areas have a lot of people working in Ludhiana, Jalandhar, and stuff, so I don't think revenue will be a big problem. And the best solution would be extending it all the way to SVDK and using a full-length train. But with the extension of Jammu Mail, I'm not too hopeful about that happening unless some magical Mahakumbh effect comes into play.
