Deccan Queen - मेरे सपनों की रानी

Yesterday, these 6 trains were diverted via BKP/BKPL - RGD - TIA,
• 12326 Gurumukhi Exp via Bakhtiyarpur - Rajgir - Tilaiya - Kiul
• 17006 Raxaul - Hyderabad Exp via Mokama - BKP Link Cabin - Karnauti - Rajgir - Tilaiya - Kiul
• 18183 Tatanagar- Danapur Super Exp via Kiul - Tilaiya - Rajgir - Bakhtiyarpur

13136 Jaynagar - Kolkata via Mokama - BKP Link Cabin - Karnauti - Rajgir - Tilaiya - Kiul
• 18182 Thawe - Tatanagar Exp via Mokama - BKP Link Cabin - Karnauti - Rajgir - Tilaiya - Kiul
• 13288 South Bihar Exp via Bakhtiyarpur - Rajgir - Tilaiya - Kiul

✓ First Instance of any regular psg train using BKPL - KRNN line or BKP bypass
✓ All these trains undergone LR at Tilaiya Jn..
Unfortunately, these were for diverted trains.

But,
• Railways never tried to provide any regular trains on MKA - BKPL - RGD - TIA
• NWD lacks connectivity to Patna/Bakhtiyarpur even today. Railways never tried to provide connectivity from Nawada to Patna by using LR at TIA.
• AC to ECR BKP bypass and the line to RGD/TIA will be only meant for Freights.

∆ If the SHK BEHS line would have been completed, then this long diverted route would have been avoided.

Totally shameful.
