I think this is the right time when SER should take a wise decision. Rather than inaugurating 22863 HWH-YPR AC EXP, make this Duranto full AC and give it a pure LHB rake instead of current Hybrid LHB rake and speed up this Duranto.
And in the place of the AC EXP inaugurate a normal SF train between HWH and YPR. Which is a much needed train in between these two place as 12863/64 is getting overcrowded day by day and indeed it will be a super hit train of IR.
Because Duranto

is mostly used by Howrah based people, hence there is only one train left for passenger of other parts of West Bengal i.e. 12863/64 as other trains like 12509/10, 15227 etc. are mostly crowded by North-East India passengers.
So inaugurating a SF train between HWH-YPR/SBC will be very helpful for passengers between SRC/Santragachi and CTC/Cuttack as they only one option 12863/64. It will reduce the rush from 12863/64 and 12509/10.
Stoppages of that train can be following:-
HWH(Source)-SRC-KGP-BLS-JJKR-CTC-BBS-KUR-BAM-VZM-VSKP-RJY-BZA-NLR-RU-KPD-JTJ-KJM-YPR(Destination)
Any feedback or idea is appreciated.

Yes, I have seen AC is mostly used by end to end passengers in these trains, hence making duranto full AC will be super hit and time duration can be decreased slightly...
