So NFR has provided an extra rake for Farakka exp. Now it is running with 5 rakes. This rake can be used to run a new overnight train to Guwahati to provide connectivity to extreme Northern Bengal and Lower Assam districts.

That winter time cancellation thing completely depends on the respective zones and RB but the late arrival of one rake now is not going to affect the timely departure of other rakes from Balurghat untill and unless the arriving rake is delayed by more than 24hrs.
Honestly i was expecting the extra rake since this extension was demanded by a high profile person.

Mdp HS will hardly going to help Asansol. That train takes a longer route to Delhi. Moreover, since the train has a little TAT, the train will occupy a platform at Asansol, that too at the busy afternoon hours. It's better to regularise this Asansol-Anand Vihar spl via Dhn, this will be more helpful for this region.

Basically all these things started with the extension of Asansol Chennai exp to Jasidih. But one thing that people from Jharkhand ignores is the changing political dynamics in Asansol and Bengal as a whole. The Bengal BJP lobby currently is pretty strong and they will hardly do anything that will reduce their chances of getting good seats in 2024 and 2026. It can be best understood from the extension of Mayurakshi exp. Birbhum district dont have a single MP from BJP, still the discontent and protest became so high that they had to give a new train to Siuri after Nishikant Dubey extended Mayurakshi to Jharkhand. Again after a few months, when he asked for extension of Maa Tara exp till Godda, he was declined and all he recieved for Godda extend was Sdah Rph Memu. So it's not any more easy to extend trains from Bengal, and that too a...

Re# 6021706-32              
So you are trying to say is that this is the revenge that they want to take by extending a highly popular train that runs full throughout the year?? Moreover, even if I consider your statement, then what is the fault of the Asansol-Raniganj-Durgapur belt passengers because if this extension happens (which is very unlikely to happen), then they will be affected the most. Afterall, the normal citizens as a whole had never protested to provide any train service to the aforesaid sections.
Btw, as far as my knowledge goes, Giridih had a direct link train to Kolkata till 2020. It was in 2020 when this connection was discontinued.

Re# 6021706-34              
Not 3, it should be 2. Coalfield gets filled up even before it reaches Asansol. Among Sdah Intercity and agnibina, Intercity is not at all a office goers train. It reaches Sdah almost at 11 whereas Agnibina reaches by 9am (Earlier it should be reaches Howrah by 8.30am).
Just to give you idea about the importance of this train for Asansol-Durgapur belt - despite of being a Intercity that runs for just 200km, this train has 2 seperate remote quotas (RLWL for Raniganj-Andal and RLWL for Durgapur). Can you show me any other train that runs for mere 200kms but has 2 seperate remote quotas??
Hope

this tells you about the importance of this train in this belt. I believe a new train can solve the issue but extending Agnibina will only aggregate the issue. (I remember back in 2006, when Shantiniketan exp was announced to get an extension, people literally took out tracks and finally the decision was cancelled)

I really wonder what even made BJP think that a Bhojpuri movie actor will win a seat from Bengal. Infact as per the recent buzz, after withdrawal of Pawan Singh's candidature, BJP is going to field another Bhojpuri actress Akshara Singh from Asansol. Bhojpuri movie industry is something that is looked down upon by the Bengalis. I wonder if BJP really wants to win seats from Bengal. They already have been tagged as Hindi belt's party by TMC for which they lost badly in 2021 elections. And now they are now just solidifying their image of being a non-bengali party by fielding Bhojpuri candidates from Bengal.

I don't think it's that tough. Asn-Puri via Adra can be easily done within 8hrs. Kyq Ypr Ac exp covers Asansol-Khurda Road stretch in 7hr 45mins with an avg of 72kmph. Since it's a VB, it will definately have lesser halt and a bit faster TT. So the whole Asn-Puri stretch via Adra can be covered within 8hrs.
Unnecessarily diverting it via Bwn-Dkae section will increase the distance by 100kms. So that won't reduce the journey time as such

If the Asn-Bsb VB runs via GC, then I don't think it would be able to fetch much passengers. Honestly Asansol and Dhanbad together won't be able to fill up a whole VB for Varanasi.
Rather Asn-Bsb VB should run via Patna. Asansol - Patna section has a pretty good demand and can ensure a steady flow of passengers. Infact Indigo is recently launching direct flights between Andal and Patna after sensing the high demand of this sector. Railways should also try to cash in on that demand.
