Re# 6040088-4              
I have travelled through this route few times, but observed minutely only couple of times when travelling upto Bardhaman. First time, we took a crawling express upto BWN [via main line ] . On returning, we missed the direct non stop local to HWH, so had to take a normal local [again via main line, I think ]. I was impressed to see that a direct local ticket was available for KGP for only Rs 40; which is impressively cheap for 200+ km.

I have a question about the main and chord

lines. Do the main and chord lines differ right at BWN and then merge at HWH or do they merge at some other station in between?

Main and Chord lines differ between Saktigarh and Bally. Main line has a much higher frequency of Locals, especially post Bandel Jn.

Take a look at the picture attached. the identity of the signal says 'HBC' meaning Howrah-Barddhaman Chordline. Similarly there is HBM where M means Mainline. Hence Chord & Main individually starts from Howrah & runs upto BWN, so Bally & Saktigarh do not qualify a Junction criteria.
