Agree. It got excellent patronage. I have travelled only once from Ranchi to Dhanbad in feb 2012 and it was completely full at Ranchi itself with muri & bokaro adding to the crowd. At dhanbad almost half train got empty but still it went filled from Dhanbad as quite a good number boarded from Dhanbad again. There should be one train b/w Ranchi-dhanbad/asansol with morning dep from Ranchi. Currently no option. BBS GR is going to be extended to Dhanbad from 15june or so. Triweekly option but only 3A is there.
Similar thing happens in the Garib Rath, it offloads majority of it's passengers at RNC/BKSC but given the subsidized 3A fare many people still take it to DHN.
