How about reduce 12311/12 to 16 coaches Fully AC rake (with combination of 1AC, 2AC, 3AC, 3AC Economy), and run 12329/30 WB SK Exp upto CDG for 4-5 days a week - to make up with good combination of Sleepers and Unreserved coaches?

I see noone ever raising the point about WB being the only state in India with just a weekly Sampark Kranti train! (Why 4/5 days is so that North Bengal / NJP also can have parallel run for remaining 2/3 days of North Bengal Sampark Kranti).

I'm sure alternate RSA can be made for 12379/80 Jallianwala Bagh Exp. But this is a critical need of the hour, to maintain connectivity between Chandigarh/Kalka/HP and Eastern India. If ER cannot take care of it, then better to hand over to NR!

Thanx. Kalka Mail is only connection to Kalka from various cities of Uttar Pradesh (Ghaziabad , Aligarh, Firozabad etc.) and these Cities will loose NON AC connection with Kalka due to this step.

In that case, if at all this train were to become a 16 coacher, even then it would be reduced to just 2-3 Sleepers (from currently 10)... much like Upasana/Kumbh, would it be of much help - given the quantum of rush on this train?

Because given the current infrastructure around Kalka railway station, it's frankly quite herculean to construct platforms there now for 22 coach trains. For standard 22 coach LHB rake, it'll have to be short terminated at CDG, which again some of our forum members were saying wouldn't be

viable, not to forget Shimla/Kalka's sole connection to UP and East India to be lost forever.

Any which ways, increasing frequency of WB SK with extension upto CDG for now seems like a pretty feasible option (I wonder why Railways has not built second alternative terminal for such an important city like Chandigarh already, at SAS Nagar Mohali for example).

Only possible option is to have a connecting train to Kalka which should be available at CDG at the parallel platform.

Best thing to do is LHB-fy, short-terminate at CDG and provide a 12-coach MEMU spl. between CDG and KLK where the pax can interchange onto.

Earlier 13015/13016 ka dedicated rake tha aur KULIK, GANDEVATA aur SAHID Exp RSA me chalti thi. LHB rake aaya 13015/13016 ke liye HWH CDO ne 13015/13016 ko Gandevata aur Sahid Exp ke RSA me dalkar Kulik Exp ko LHB rake de diya..
Ab Gandevta aur Sahid ko LHB dene ki baat mention kiye hain lekin 13015/13016 ka naam nahi hai jabki ye bhi RSA me hai Gandevata aur Sahid ke ..
