Amarkantak Express: Holy for Railfans as holy as Amarkantak is for devotees. - Ayan G

No sir you are being modest!
Everybody knows that you are a champion railfan!
The knowledge that you and Sanjeev sir have about the NCR heartland is amazing and your discusions and trains suggestions especially DHN oriented are followed by me with great interest :)
Anyway did you find any board on the platform number 8?
Is...

it officially recognized as a platform now?
Has platform 2-3 being raised to higher levels?
Has the wifi speed test started?
What trains did you spot at DHN Coaching Complex? Was Koderma-Harazibagh passenger still there?
Sir, one final question if you don't mind!
Why don't you deboard at ASN?
It would be closer to KMME I guess than from DHN!

Answer to your questions.
1) no stn board for pf no. 8
2) no. Asked one official. He told that that due to single line and two adjacent pf it would be very confusing. The other side(pf 8) was made so that it matches the level of new building on other side and the parking lot and ppl could directly board the train.

increase in pf level has been done on 2-3 from the start (hwh side) upto the escalator.
4) no idea about wifi. Is there any wifi services being provided at dhn
5) racks of Ganga Sutlej , Ganga damodar and a lot of spare coaches. If they combine at least 2 SPL trains of 20 coaches could be made easily. Just hitting dust in the coaching complex. Many of them were brand new.
6) I spotted kqr- kawar trains coaches have rsa with kqr-hazaribag with an alco being placed with dhn- asn pass in between pf no 3 and 4.
7) though kmme comes under asn divn but from my childhood dhn has been the mainstay in my life. When I was a student generally used to come by 12324 from ndls or 13010 from DDN. Dhn around 2 am or 2:30 am . deboard catch the memu from dhn at 3:30.
Now I prefer 12260/12302/12274 while coming from ndls.none of them stop at asn. Even in up same condition. Moreover many a times when I don't get cnf tkts to dhn I book in rnc or odisha bound train and deboard at gmo. Now since I am having a vehicle so I think approx 1 hr from dhn- asn in train.. 40 mins drive from there as roads are very congested in asn. So better get dn at dhn and drive to kmme. By the time train reaches asn I am at my home enjoying rasgullas.
One thing best abt u is your screen name. Really

1. Great this would be valid point to counter those people who argue DHN having 9 platforms!
2. Great to hear that ! The platforms 2 and 3 were particularly low towards the HWH side.
3. Google supportedWifi scheduled to installed at 100 stations, DHN amongst them I believe!
3. Those spare rakes are not in good condition probably or would have been despatched...

to DNR. Remember that Dnr is the apple of ECR' s eyes and DHN is it's poor step son!
4.Yes the Koderma kawar passenger was kept in DHN CCU a month before too when I spotted them :)
5. Yeah DHN-KMME NH-2 which is part of the Golden Quadrilateral is fantastic!
6. The screenname :P Keep the environment cheerful, other members happy ultimately I am happy :)
