Not just for ASN, I think this will open up new connectivity options for DHN-ASN belt with SURI,RPH,PKR,SBG,MLDT.
Also scopes improving connectivity between places in Northern Jharkhand like Rajmahal and Sahibganj with state capital Ranchi.

Yes adding a extra RORO service at the Khana link cabin to the UP slow line in the BWN-ASN section, would definitely bolster connectivity with Shantiniketan area with the Shipanchal area.

Another thing that has to be done ASAP is the alternate DC line being built quickly so that the train services between DHN & RNC can be seamless and increased in load. The existing line is on it's last leg and more and more services are being introduced on this line.

New trains like JSME-VSG and the existng running trains on the DC line are running at a great risk, and the expected date of completion of the reallignment i.e 2027 might be a bit too late I am afraid. Who knows whether the existing DC line may survive for that long...

It was originally BKSC-MAS express with a slip service from TATA if I am not mistaken. Originally a SER train, due to ADRA division's apathy towards the pitline at BKSC, it wasn't looked after well and allowed to rot away. The Primary maintenance of this train was then given to ER and the train was extended to DHN_ER and the train was renumbered to 13351.

BKSC is a strange case where a combination of several factors have ensured that a city of the calibre of Bokaro is devoid of originating/terminating trains....
more...

Be it the land issue with BSL that denies the justified increase in number of platforms at BKSC, or the general apathy of SER and ADRA division towards it as a whole. Compounding this problem is the weak political lobby of Dhanbad, under whose Union Legislative seat BKSC lies.

Dhanbad got lucky in some ways, the location was good and ER's ASN Division, and then Dhanbad Division was really beneficial for the region. Dhanbad and Gomoh got pitlines for that reason.

Dhanbad still gets a lot of benefits from ASN Division, that is a undisputed fact. That is the main reason why I always felt that DHN Division shouldn't have be created out of ASN Division in the first place. It would still be beneficial if DHN was reinstated back into ASN.

I have tagged members from BKSC, who will be able to elaborate on the matter in greater details.

Since this specials are being run on the slot of Nagaon Express, this train for Dhanbad could have been run via TATA, ASN route.
The trains bound for BJU are already catering to RNC or a dedicated special can be run upto RNC rather!
It is preposterous that no specials for DHN are run via ASN inspite of the shorter and faster route and the convenience of ASN DGR DHN being 3 big towns within a 100 km radius. Running a DHN bound special will be beneficial for the overall Shilpanchal Area.

Got to know this from my father, on 24.4.24 enquiry counter officials were saying 12021 Janshatabdi will depart but don't know when. This was happening repeatedly and people lost their cool. They broke the window panes. RPF had to come to the spot. This has become a daily affair for 12021/22, arrive late, depart late. Can't they just cancel one run and make it on time? And make it run very close to the schedule (if not exactly on the schedule) everyday? Oh sorry, obviously freight is the lifeline of SER, passenger trains are not at all important.
