Mangalore Madgaon and Bhubaneswar Visakhapatnam are not even getting 250 travellers on all days. As Vande Metro is of 1100 capacity the numbers can't reach that number. They to be converted into Intercity express and also Tatanagar Bherhampur.

High time 22303/04 was extended to BSB, only then the 16 coach rake would do justice. 8.5 hr HWH - BSB (and back) would be pretty feasible. All that is needed is a little bit tweak in timings.

Absolutely. This way ER can also preserve 12019/20 crowd

Since NJP VB departs HWH at 05:55
BSB VB can depart HWH at 06:05
RNC Shatabdi can then depart HWH at 6:25
BGP

BGP VB ke time ko change karne ki kya jarurat hai? uski timing sahi hai wo waise bhi HWH ke baad BHP rukti hai waise in my opinion BWN halt hona chahiye uska.

    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...
