Champaran HumSafar Express : इन अजनबी सी राहों में, जो तू मेरा हमसफ़र हो जाये, बीत जाए पल भर में ये वक़्त, और हसीन सफ़र हो जाये. - Piyush Singh

Is it going to run with LHB !!! Seriously ??? I have no idea, how this train is going to get patronized with these stoppages. The train runs through the rural part of Purba Medinipur district. The local people (from Kanthi or Tamluk) can't just afford this much amount of money for just 3 hrs journey. They would have definitely preferred Kandari/Tamralipta. The whole set of passengers, Duronto has got so far, were mostly tourists (from Kolkata, North Bengal or other districts) bound for Digha. Railway Board could have added Ramnagar as a stoppage, in order to promote the places like Mandarmani, Shankarpur or Tajpur, which are becoming popular as sea resorts now-a-days. The local people from Kanthi, Tamluk will never prefer this train. And the people from Mecheda have too many EMU connectivities for Howrah/Santragachi. I know all these details, coz I belong to this place only.
