In that case, if at all this train were to become a 16 coacher, even then it would be reduced to just 2-3 Sleepers (from currently 10)... much like Upasana/Kumbh, would it be of much help - given the quantum of rush on this train?
Because given the current infrastructure around Kalka railway station, it's frankly quite herculean to construct platforms there now for 22 coach trains. For standard 22 coach LHB rake, it'll have to be short terminated at CDG, which again some of our forum members were saying wouldn't be...
more... viable, not to forget Shimla/Kalka's sole connection to UP and East India to be lost forever.
Any which ways, increasing frequency of WB SK with extension upto CDG for now seems like a pretty feasible option (I wonder why Railways has not built second alternative terminal for such an important city like Chandigarh already, at SAS Nagar Mohali for example).

please wait...Translate to HindiUs case mein, agar yeh train 16 coaches wali bhi ho jaaye, tab bhi usme sirf 2-3 sleeper coaches rahenge (currently 10 hai)... Upasana/Kumbh ki tarah, kya yeh itna madad karega - itni rush ke beech?
Kyunki Kalka railway station ke aas-pas ki infrastructure ko dekhte hue, 22 coach train ke liye platform banaana bahut mushkil hai. 22 coach LHB rake ko CDG pe short terminate karna padega, jiska forum mein kuch members keh rahe the ki viable nahi hai. Aur Shimla/Kalka ka UP aur East India se connect bhi hamesha ke liye cut jaayega.
Koi bhi tarika, WB SK ki frequency badhana aur CDG tak extend karna ek feasible option lag raha hai (mujhe heran ho raha hai ki Railways ne Chandigarh jaise important city ke liye dusra terminal kyu nahi banaya, jaise SAS Nagar Mohali mein).
