The train is a small world moving through a larger world - Niraj Kumar

Zone aur division ka bhi effect rehta hai.......
ER s a pgr carrying railway mainly...less freight traffic compared to SER which is mainly Freight carrying rail....so ER koi bhi train chalane k liye hamesha 100% ready rehta hai chahe woh Madhupur humsafar ho, deogarh-agartala exp ho, etc....aise small stn ( small compared to asn, hwh, sdah) se bhi new trains exp/sf chalane k liye ready rehte hai hamesha.
On the otherhand BKSC once had pitlines but due to negligency od ADRA Div and SER not willing to run exp/ sf trains from bksc,...

the pitlines got damaged...had it be ER then bksc could have easily got new train originating from bksc.....similarly if PRR was in ER then PRR would have got
many long dist trains by now......similarly for Digha, Haldia both stns if under ER would have got many exp, emu, pgr trains till now .... but badluck they r under SER. SER do not want to run pgr trains at new routes at all. tilll date SER could not run a MEMU from ADRA to DIGHA...Digha being a tourist spot has very good potential...everyday around 100 buses ply between Midnapur and Kharagpur to Digha..but no direct connectivity between digha and midnapur except 1 weekly train between asn-digha exp...other days nothing.

ER,. though a loss making zone has it's Moto to cater passengers. It doesn't care what other zones or RB comments on it's operation. SER is basically a freight zone only. There is no section devoid of freights in SER. When punctuality issues are on monitor, they are ready to hide behind their revenue statistics. See the range of MEMUs that ER has. SER MEMUs make max. till ASN, DHN and SBP outside the zone. So many requests by the local MPs of Jamshedpur, Bankura, Dhanbad, Purulia transforms into garbage. Not even a proper response is received. While in ER during proposed extension of ASN-SDAH Intercity, they were ready to co-operate on a simple note of PM shiftment to ADRA. No alliance by SER, drafted the deal till void. Now, that chance is gone forever.
Digha...

is very well maintained beach which grabs lots of tourist specially during summers. Only one ER train(ASN-Diigha) gives us a hope to make it there. Irony is that even Digha's neighbours Medinipur and Kharagpur have negligible trains to Digha.😂. Many doesn't even know that there exist a Industrial town Haldia on the way too..🤣🤣
Rather than connecting each other, SER focussed more on connectivity each city/town to eastern financial capital, Kolkata.
