Quite surprised by the launch of a train from Kharagpur...and even the destination (Villipuram). Any idea which set of passengers does it primarily cater to? Also important to note that it is maintained by Southern railway and not SER !!
its basically for wb state people who want to go to vellore/kpd for treatment patients, so if its starts from major orgianting stns then it will run with heavy wl list so for patients no use and more over from vellore it extended for maintenance reason/unofficial reason
same case with purlia -vm exp better extend kgp-vm exp to prr and make tri weekly exp

I Have not seem so much patients flow from east India to kpd/vellore as compared to west/south or central/south. On a lighter vein sometime back someone told me that train 16323/16324-Shalimar -TVC exp was jokingly called 'Ambulance Express' for the number of patients that it carried bound for treatment to kpd/vellore !!
This would also serve people travelling to Tirupati from WB and Orissa in holidays that include a weekend
Most importantly this is the train that serves people who would like to travel to Tiruvannamalai, a great pilgrimage
