There are plans to run inter-cities on that line, in the near future.

let new line works complete first.
will take time, plus electrification reqd.
that will mostly be Day time ICE (08627/28) may get regular via that route.

---

The line is nearing it's completion, only some streches especially Kamarpukur and Joyrambati are yet to be connected....
The delay in completion is mostly due to a overhead bridge construction near Kamarpukur which has raised some land disputes between the officials and the locals.....

Yes . Land acquisition was problem. Got cleared couple of days by Kolkata high court . Work should speed up now.

Actually I was in Kamarpukur when this circus was going on....
Thank God, it got cleared up....
