RailFanning is an art-form; RailFans are the paints - Ayush Kumar Singh

I don't know about anyone else, but it seems like you're the only one talking to me.. anyway....

For CBE-BJU , TBM-BJU, and other special trains going that route, all are completing the journey from RNC-BKSC in just 1 hour and 40 minutes... but they've kept it at 2 hours for VB.

CBE-BJU , TBM-BJU या ऐसी टाइम की जितनी वी स्पेशल ट्रेन्स हैं सभी 1:40 घंटे में RNC-BKSC कॉम्प्लीट कर रही हैं.. पर VB के लिए 2 घंटे रखा गया है..

Today 20887 arrived 22 mins early in BKSC. This is daily thing but usually it's 20 mins early in BKSC, RNC-BKSC can be done easily in 1.35 hours and Muri stop needs to be removed.

Halt ek baar mil jaata hai toh hatana bahut mushkil ho jaata hai, hatane pe local protest ho sakta hai. Par fir v speed up se 1hr 35 mint me RNC-BKSC cover ho sakta hai. Sath me is train ko GMO, PNME aur DOS additional stoppage mil jaaye.

Bro, I salute your understanding, man! On the HWH route, businessmen usually travel so it's no biggie if the train's half-empty. But on this route, there are students and working folks, so Virar local shouldn't run. If this is your mindset, then what can I say? And like I said, all Virar locals go half-empty, but only this one bugs you, bro.

Bro, thanks for the salute. Your salute has been accepted. But, keep your logic in check. You're saying yourself that Kolkata's Intercity and VB are for the affluent class who prefer premium trains and working/middle class/students opt for the intercity. Now tell me, which train of the intercity type runs from Ranchi via BKSC KQR GAYA? It's pointless for you to understand, how many times have you been on this VB train or will you go in the future. If it was of intercity type, this train would run full, that's the bottom line and it would probably be more feasible for you too. You know the per capita income of Jharkhand, according to that, this train is not worth it. Why are you trying to involve Vande Bharat to prove your point? I know there are only 2 hotspots from Ranchi: Patna and Kolkata. The day when Varanasi's occupancy improves, no one will question it, but for now it's impossible.

Bhailog, thankyou salami ke liye. Teri salami accept kar li gayi hai.

Par bhai, apni logic apne pass rakho. Bol khud rahe ho ki Kolkata ke Intercity aur VB dono hai toh affluent class premium train leta hai aur working/ middle class / students intercity. Batao yeha kaunsa train hai intercity type, Ranchi se via BKSC KQR GAYA.


Tumko samajhna bekar hai, kitne baar gaye ho ya future me jaaoge is VB se. Agar intercity type hota toh yeh train full chalti, baat itni si hai and shayad tumko bhi jyada feasible hota. Jharkhand ki per capita income jante ho na, uss hisab se yeh train worthy nahi hai.


Apna point prove karne liye sab Vande Bharat kyun ghusa rahe, mujhe pata hai Ranchi se sirf 2 hi hotspots hai Patna aur Kolkata, jis din Varanasi wale ka occupancy thik ho jayega koi question nahi karega lekin ki filhal impossible hai.

The Ranchi Varanasi express is pretty full today. Out of all the seats, 370 seats are taken, with 150 from Ranchi, 100 from Bokaro, and 120 from Gaya. The train goes for 537km in total, and from Ranchi to Gaya is 314 km. Surprisingly, it's actually half empty on the whole.

picture yeh so nahi hai...poora scene kya hai?

The Hindu be one of the few media outlets that ain't scared to ask tough questions, man.
