Maitree Express: মৈত্রী এক্সপ্রেস - দুই বাংলার সংস্কৃতি ও ভাতৃত্বের মেলবন্ধন - Joydeep Roy

LKU-ASR Exp to originate from KGM will have to be reversed at LKU.
Impractical for 20 kms when connectivity between HDW and LKU is extremely good, be it road or be it railways

---

Reverse of coach is not a big problem. However if so then the train may be run thrice a week in which one day it may be run from lalkuan through as usual route and for remaining two days it may be run from kathgodam via Rudrapur and RAMPUR without reversing its rack.

---

Yes 20 km is not too much distance. But have you ever feel the situation of that alone ladies, families having elder person and children who take this train for lalkuan which is usually late and reached lalkuan aftet 10 pm. Have you imagine the good connectivity at that time too.

I am also a resident of same place hence know what's best.
KGM has serious issues with parking space for rakes.

---

Parking space for what, as the above train hardly stay only for 1-2 hours and again proceeds towards AMRITSAR. Further it is a weekly train only.
