Amarkantak Express: Holy for Railfans as holy as Amarkantak is for devotees. - Ayan G

15009/10 if extended to STP then a good option for overnight travel of GD-GKP loopline stations will be ruined . This train is mostly used by patients going/returning to PGI and other hospitals . Now they will find very difficult to find a seat in this train . As already this train runs jampacked in all classes long WL list can be seen in this train a week advance. Hope NER will not extend this train as GKP-STP express. Rather use it's rake to Run a separate ASH-STP train that will be ok.

1 hafte tak waiting lagi rhti hai waise jagah nhi milti hai . 1 hi dhang ki overnight service bachi hai for GD-GKP loop passengers. Agar ye sitapur extend hui toh bahut dikat hogi pax ko as 5070 intercity new time ke bad barbad hogyi hai ab usse koi nhi jata hai. Better hoga ki as ASH-STP separate train chalaye RSA krke better to directly extend as GKP-STP express

I don't think NER Will extend GTNR-GKP express till STP..It is daily express train and so much useful for daily passengers .. You are right that may be NER can use its rake between ASH-STP but not for 86Km.. Later on when from 2020 or 2021 till PBE track will be ready then only ner will introduce new express trains. Till ASH-STP or MLN only passenger train will be running..And if we talk about commencement on ASH-STP section then when track will be connected at STP then only train can reach upto STP but no official announcement yet for megablock.. If NER along with RVNL completes all the blocks for connecting tracks in September or first week of October then only train commencement is possible in December else we have to wait for long time i.e Feb or March 2019 for sure
