via KIR-MGR-KIUL OR via KIR-BJU will be faster and shorter route for Jan shatabdi/Fast Intercity. Waise bhi Katihar se patna ek aur intercity ki demand hai..
via BGP longer route hoga, 1 din me NJP-PNBE via BGP up-down possible nahi hoga and BGP-Patna ke bich already 3 Intercity chal rahi hai (13401,13241,13235)..

Kishanganj se nahi to fir New Jalpaiguri tak. Tourists for Darjeeling will be benefitted.
Tab Morning mein Patna se via Mokama - Kiul - Jamalpur - Bhagalpur - Sahibgang - Malda - Katihar - Kishanganj - New Jalpaiguri.

yes kne-pnbe/rjpb will be much better or agar chali to via kir hi honi chaiye ... infact two train should be on cards one sleeping arrangement train jogbani se bhi kyuki ab capital me or coach nhi badh sakta :D

---

Katihar & Bhagalpur ka demand ek hi Jansatabdi se ho sakta hai.

Let's hope next timetable committee meeting me NFR ye proposal daale
