Once again Valsad is Ignored. Even if Valsad station generating Huge revenue, i.e 6th in BCT-ADI Route. Where as Station like Anand, Nadiad , Goadhra & Dahod are smaller than Valsad but always getting stoppage of all Important trains.
Even this train when introduced , it was declared to stop at Borivali, Surat,Bharuch,Vadodara & Anand enroute, but now it it has scheduled stop at Vapi & also Nadiad which is just 17 k.m from Anand. Ridiculous.!!!!
At least Nadia stop can be abolish & provide halt at Valsad.

Guys, dont lets fight between Valsad and Vapi. We should be glad our district has two big towns. There is no contesting the fact that of late, Vapi has seen much more growth and development than Valsad. But that doesnt mean Valsad shouldnt get halts. Railways do not give stops based on malls and luxury hotels. For railways, revenue is the most important factor.
Here, Vapi generates far more revenue than Valsad, in spite of more trains halting at Valsad than Vapi.
Vapi revenue is next only to ADI, ST and BRC, which
...
more...
have even more number of trains halting there. This shows that patronage of trains at Vapi is quite high, which is the reason why Vapi has demanded (successfully) the stops of many SF and long distance trains. If you compare the previous two budgets and Spl trains introduced in the previous two years, you'll see more halts at Vapi and less at Valsad. This did not happen earlier, and is a clear acknowledgement of the high revenues generated by the station.
Valsad is also not being ignored by the Rlys.It is being developed as a Terminus, with many long distance and intercity trains originating from it. Almost every year for the past 4-5 years, at least one new long distance train has been started from Valsad. We now have trains to Kanpur, Muzaffarpur, Haridwar, Puri and Jodhpur, apart from Dahod, ADI and BCT, originating from Valsad. I'm sure many more trains will continue to originate from here.
I think we people of Valsad district should be united and be happy that both the big towns of our district are seeing good development.
Peace! Long live Gujarat!

Malls and hotels are examples only, not that that is the criteria, it is the industrial devpt which has given the scope for revenue which paves the way for Malls and hotels and other development as the visitors/businessmen use Railways to commute for their ventures. It is a matter of understanding only, which way you take it, positive or otherwise. As far Valsad is concerned, it is much behind, though it is a district. Of course, more trains halt at Valsad but not the luxurious business class except AK, which almost stops anywhere. But there is a scope for stoppage as the occupancy might really not be cent percent because of Karnavati running just ahead of it or Karnavati passengers of ACCC might shift to DD but not in the immediate future.
