Easily it could've got 22952 or 22473 slot between ADI and BDTS.
VRL - ADI in ~ 10 hours and 7.15 hours between ADI and BDTS. But BVP division wants 19204 to halt for minimum 1 hour at Dhasa, Dhandhuka, Sarkhej and Ahmedabad.
TT of 19203 perfect but needs a speedup and slack to be removed in 19204 TT

Even, I was surprised to see the run on 19204 yesterday. I was traveling in opposite direction with #22965 , and noticed about this train. Not sure, which slot is this weekly train sharing with others ? I don't think anyone is having this slot between VRL and ADI.

Great
18602 Hatia Tatanagar Express standing at PF 5 of Tatanagar after arriving about 50 minutes before time. This same rake won't return back as 18601 at 12 noon the same day, but this rake will stay here and depart as 18113 Tatanagar Bilaspur Express at night.

Typical Hatia CDO Boards...😐

Re# 6046040-4              
Why would a train originating from North Bengal be forced to run via Suiri ?
Connectivity aside this train would cause more problems than alleviate them.
A faster route via KIR,BJU,PPTA is already available.

As it's a Sampark Kranti, it should cover whole state in a shortest way. Look at Sampark Krantis of South , they are covering many cities & have more than 5 halts in their home state.

You have to understand something. Kolkata dwarfs, absolutely dwarfs any other city when it comes to population in WB. This happens in states with Metro cities. Running WBSK from SDAH was the best decision and it coincidentally serves three of the most populous cities in WB other than KOAA, namely BWN,DGR and ASN.

I know but the problem is present WBSK has only 3 halts in WB in 2 districts i.e West bardhaman, & East Bardhaman. But if it origanted from NJP or NOQ & ran through MLDT,NFK,RPH,SURI,DGR,ASN then 10 Districts of WB will be covered Like SKs in the Southern states of TN,KA,KL,AP etc . Hope you understand my point

A parasite 🦠 is what I call ADRA division, surviving on the revenue of BKSC. Most of its revenue comes from freight to which BKSC contributes the highest and still the station building of ADRA is getting completed first . Why ??? I don’t need to even explain this Amrit Bharat scam being run by ADRA.

BKSC has been moved out of GEN quota from its own train which now runs as DHN-ALLP EXP.
...

BKSC has been moved out of GEN quota from RNC-HWH Shatabdi which was its train once.

Even RNC division has removed GEN quota from
many trains even though both are SER, but retained for MURI. I mean I don’t want to even talk about the logic here.

MLA, MP, division, zone and IR as whole has been a complete disappointment. Even after so many years of independence BKSC doesn’t have direct trains to Bangalore, Pune, Jammu, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Ahmedabad, Bhopal, Indore, Trivandrum, and many more places.

Such a shame for the 4th largest and important industrial city of Jharkhand.

Re# 6018017-36              
That is why extensions are such a sham and so detrimental to the original station in the first place. BKSC is allocated PQWL in 13351 that was it's own train once.
RNC Division has cut off BKSC from several of it's train inspite of the fact that both lie in SER, because the divisional changeover is there. MURI lies in RNC Division and leaps the benefits of GNWL there.
Similarly ASN is now facing the RLWL axe on several trains originating from KOAA side.
...

That is why I was originally sympathetic to the guy from MLDT when Farakkha got extended. While MLDT retains GNWL as of now, it is likely to be discarded from the next ARP, as zonal changeover is there.

Air Connectivity prospects are also adversely affected due to weak political representation of Dhanbad.

Re# 6018017-38              
Quota distribution depends upon the will of the zone and division. For instance, there is only GNWL quota on 18619/20 Intercity Express. RNC - MURI(incl) is under SER/RNC division, MURI(excl) - CRP(excl) is under SER/ADRA division, CRP(incl) - PKA(incl) is under ECR/DHN division, PKA(excl) - DUMK(incl) is under ER/ASN division, and DUMK(excl) - GODA is under ER/MLDT division.

SER can well accomodate BKSC under GNWL quota for SER/RNC and SER/CKP division originating trains.
