Edit: I'm aiming for a service which is Premium, gives overnight connection for Chandigarh Jammu and early morning arrival for Chandigarh Delhi (before 6 AM). If Rajdhani diversion is too sensitive, Duronto diversion can be thought upon (Idea credit: Harsh12345ER) or even Udhampur AC
Original Post: Hey guys, although I'm strictly against any extension or diversion of popular trains.
Seeing this train's odd timings of arrival and short distance of travel, I couldn't help but think about Chandigarh.

it be possible to divert this train via Chandigarh ? Since Chandigarh doesn't have a direct Rajdhani Connection even after being a Capital of 2 States. Since Punjab Haryana and Himachal Pradesh cannot get a proper Rajdhani Service, this could serve as a service signifying the same.
Haryana only has 1 Rajdhani Halt (i.e., Gurugram), which itself was added only some years ago.
Chandigarh is nearby Shimla so even Shimla gets indirectly served by this slight diversion.
It will act as a great overnight connection between Chandigarh and Jammu. Since after getting mainland lines connected with Srinagar line, in all probability this train will get extended to Srinagar. So it'll be more beneficial, in lines of how Dibrugarh Rajdhani indirectly serves North East India.
Even if travel time gets extended by 1 hours, the time of arrival would become more suitable for passengers.
What are your views ??

Yes, jammu duronto can be diverted via cdg without much issues. Anyways, Duronto class has lost its sheen in current regime and no one bothers its low avg speed. Also, it's chances of extension to Kashmir valley is less.
For the start, I guess two dedicated overnight trains from delhi to Kashmir valley; USK/Jammu Mail to baramulla and Jat Rajdhani to Srinagar would be sufficient.
