I wonder why HWH Division and ER as a whole are hell bent on screwing up one of their NSG-2 stations, and yes, I am talking about Bardhaman Jn.
Neither of the two newly launched VBs is stopping at the second biggest station of HWH Division after departing from HWH!
22309 is stopping at a station like Nonihat which is unlikely to fetch any passengers at all, while subtly skipping BWN.
22303
...
more...
is given 16 car trainset whilst it isn't terminating at either BSB,DDU or PNBE! Meanwhile it will directly be competing with one of ER's Shatabdi for patronage upto DHN.
Either or both of this trains should have been given a halt at BWN.
BWN maybe in the Kolkata Suburban Railway but the peculiar way it get's neglected is not seen in other metropolitan systems be it in Chennai or Mumbai!

Couldn't agree more, BHP has it's reasons for always getting the halts of premium trains on the HWH-NJP/SBG route, but it can't compete with Bardhaman for ridership figures. Like I said before, clownery like this can only happen in ER!

Great Useful
Gaya VB effect: Three of the most punctual office time trains , Ranchi Shatabdi, Ganadevta, Black Diamond destroyed..
Can't imagine RNC Shatabdi, having the reputation of running before time, had to be controlled on asansol platform... all of these controlling/precedence game happened on a Quadruple section , they couldn't even utilise the slow line!

When Black Diamond and Shatabdi are reaching HWH at 2120 and 2130 why did TT of VB fixed at 2105 overtaking both. The TT of all 3 are competing with each other in all 3 important halts and these are trains used by office goers and regular travellers. They should have fixed at 2150 or 2200 after Gandevatha and run it on slow line from Dankuni not to obstruct path of VB.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
