The Kharagpur- Midnapore- Bankura- Adra- Purulia- Chakradharpur route provides an alternate route for the already extremely congested Kharagpur- Tatanagar- Chakradharpur route, and also for trains plying on Kharagpur- Adra- Joy Chandi Pahar- Asansol route, Khagarpur- Adra- Bhaga- Gomoh route, and also a few other branch lines.
The train follows the Bhojudih- Santaldih- Adra- Bankura- Bishnupur- Midnapore- Kharagpur- Santragachi- Shalimar route of SER. The regular link of this train is SRC WAP-4 or TATA WAM-4.
