Sahi kaha bhai. Patronage kaafi badhiya hae. Mujhe lagta hae Ranchi Varanasi train ko bhi VSKP tak extension kar dena chahiye, rest 5 days, slot bhi khali hae Ranchi se VSKP tak. Bas additional 2 LHB rakes ka need hae VSKP CDO se. VSKP-BSBS daily train ho jayega toh bohot hi acha hoga.

The total route is 1405 km and Vskp Ranchi is 830km and one train cannot take load or serve all the regions and cities. As it' is Sambalpur and Rourkela are sharing with Vskp to Balangir stretch. It's better to recompile rake with 4GS 8SL 6 3AC and 2 2AC and make it 4 days with extra rake.

Exactly, that's why I mentioned 2 more LHB rakes with same composition of 18311/18312 are required. 3A and 2A will definitely increase later.
