This train runs tri-weekly via Ranchi.
Isn't it possible to run it the remaining four days via Howrah.
Will connect Asansol-Durgapur belt directly to Bhubaneswar then!
It will necessiate one more rake, but it will be worth it, don't you think!

In it's last days......the Dhn-Hwh DD was made full UR, I mean you you could buy a seat on the DD, as you buy unreserved train tickets.
The train still remained empty..........

Re# 1603620-26              
Just a proposal. Why don't this garib rath be extended to VSKP via KUR,BAM,VZM. Yes it would be bit circular route. 227 km excess as compared to 13351 crawler. But people never get confirmed ticket in 13351 as its the only train from dhanbad.
This train presently takes 16.15hr , but if speeded up a bit i.e made to arrive BBS within 15.30 hrs, plus BBS to VSKP, further 6.30 hrs, then total journey from DHN to VSKP would be nearly 22hrs which is equal to 13351. But people will definetly opt for this train instead of 13351, all thanks to good departure timings from DHN.

VSKP and ECoR don't have the best of relationships!!!

Hahaha..that's right. ECoR is not so of good mood over VSKP division. But still for the benefit of this train and reduce the loss endured by vacant seats, ECoR should ponder over this extension.
