They were already cancelled, but no press release was given before.
And for a train to gain good patronage, the railways should run it during peak hours.
Also this route has been without train for more than a decade, so its not fair to expect people to switch over easily.
It will take time. and this is not a pvt organization to calculate profit

within few months. If a line is open, they should deploy at least one/two service connecting the towns.
Not doing any of the above, just expecting patronage makes no sense.
The worse happened with the Specials too. Who would travel in those trains which runs on a weekday once in a week? With that data, it was not fair to calculate the patronage. If somebody wants to deliberately make loses, nothing can be done.
