यमला-पगला-ट्रेन का-दिवाना - कार्तिक

Lack of adequate numbers of pitlines has always been IR's excuse when asked about starting of regular services from DHN/TATA and to some extent from GAYA too. Due to a similar weird reasoning 12941 was extended from DHN to ASN without much justificable reason putting DHN under GNWL. However it is extremely fascinating to note that similar criteria is not applied to much smaller stations like SHC & JYG, the extension of Vaishali being a prime example of that.
Negligence and carelessness led to the shutting down of the century plus old DHN-PEH & DHN-CRP lines, inspite of having appropriate times alternative routes weren't built. And then without prior warning a good dozens of trains are suddenly snatched away. The...

railway link to ADRA/BQA/PRR/TATA/KGP was reduced to one of a persistent crawl.....
Amit sir, we have got so used to being whipped and getting screwed over that even on resumption on services on the DC lines most people are still viewing it with suspicion....
Does DHN needs a train for ANVT ? Probably ! Does an important train of the Coal India Corridor and capital Ranchi has to be sacrificed for achieving that connectivity ? No, thank you! JSJ is a very important train for the areas it caters too, DHN may need a new train but that hasn't have to be done at the cost of RNC.
But yes Jharkhand Sampark Kranti could be run as weekly affair once from DHN and once from TATA via PRR, BKSC, as SKs don't necessary have to start from the capital cities, BSK & KSKs are prime examples of that, and TATA/DHN are the two most populous cities in Jharkhand.
Dumka is a non factor here unless you throw in Dubeyji in the mix! When historically important stations like DHN/TATA have been ignored, what can be expected on the newly constructed Dumka railway line? However Dubeyji has done great work for the Santhal Pargana and the Giridih-Deoghar belt as a whole. However the idea of a service from DUMK to ANVT via GC would be a tad impractical, better to take it via the mainline, it would do a world of good for several neglected stations like JAME,JAJ etc.
GC as a whole has been neglected as a whole. It is mostly due to the triangular convergence of three routes at Gomoh that trains bound for DLI/NDLS aren't much of a problem.
