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

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!

Useful
Railway assumes stations in West Bengal have good connectivity by default. On top of that ER takes BWN as suburban head for granted. Only premium chair car train i.e. NJP Shatabdi which halts at BWN fetches ~55 assignations in each direction.
Similar examples exists. PNBE HWH VB skipped DGR in initial tentative TT. Later added after political intervention. Now look at the patronage it provides. TATA-PNBE VB also avoids PRR inspite of slot availability and better path. Infact all new trains introduced recently avoids PRR after CNI.
Unless and until there wedges

a strong political bargain, nothing is going to change.

    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...
