Possible reasons that IR "may" not start this train in 2015 (It's a train announced in the Vote-on-account IR Budget of Feb, 2014) :-
.
1) Ballast Cleaning Work between Barara and Sarsawa Stations between Saharanpur and Ambala Cantt till Aug, 2015
2) Plans of IR to avoid introducing any train via Mughalsarai this year due to congested track
3)

IR's inability to start further new trains on the Udhampur - Katra Section due to "technical" issues regarding the Kashmir Rail Link Project
4) Ongoing electrification works between Jammu and Katra
5) Ongoing doubling works between Jalandhar Cantt and Jammu on a few stretches (may be)
6) No new rake available at the moment for ER coach yards to run this train
7) Issues on making Dhanbad as a Technical or a Commercial stoppage
8) Pending decision on running this train as a Premium/Suvidha/AC SF or Normal SF en route
9) Yard Remodeling issues at Varanasi, Sultanpur, Lucknow, Bareilly Jn etc (possibility)
10) RRI Works on this train's route
11) Grand Chord Route's congestion problem and on going #EDFC construction
12) Doubling works on the Varanasi - Sultanpur - Lucknow Route
.

ER should definitely tap the Silchar-Sealdah sector,which will be a mega hit and promote it as one of its key services once the service operationalises

"Will be introduced as and when Rolling stocks are available."
.
PS: If Udhampur is being considered for 22313/22314 as a Commercial Stoppage then its likely that the "Premium" Category of this train may be changed to "AC Superfast" or a normal "Superfast" that consists of both Sleeper and AC Coaches. Other stoppages like Dhanbad, Gaya, Moradabad, Ambala Cantt and Jalandhar Cantt may also get their place for this train :-)

I will endorse that. AC SF is a better option because in any way it will fetch bookings so no need of extra revenue and other way around it could be badd for this good train's Patronage

It seems that IR is experimenting with a Superfast Special on a trial basis to see if 22313/22314 can get good patronage in the years to come:-
.
03151/Sealdah - Jammu Tawi Weekly Superfast Special
.
03152/Jammu Tawi - Sealdah Weekly Superfast Special ... :-)
