12319/12329/12379 have same slot between SDAH and MGS.
If 12319 reach Gaya at 20.12 then 12329 and 12379 too should reach the same time at gaya. Also note the distance between Dhanbad and Gaya which is 198 KM and as per your time if it reach 19.45 then it reach Gaya within 2.30 Hours at the avg speed of 78 KM. as Rajdhani it self take 2.31 hours to run between DHN and Gaya you think it run at the speed of Rajdhani.
This train reach gaya at 20.12 only but not halting there, There is no technical halt there. Here is working timetable detail I got from my friend . Check yourself.

Could be but what i said is from my experience which i can't deny.
Though it stopped at Gaya and i asked the PC Staff as to why it had stopped at gaya, he told me they needed to load Food items from Gaya.
I travelled in this train 2 yrs back and now probably the stop has been given away.
