1. There is a Old Malda Jn. station also, so differentiate it, it is Malda Town.
2. Road stations are far from the city, not in main city like Abu Road, Nashik Road
3.Most of NFR converted to BG by constructing new lines, so they become new. Later, old lines also become BG. So, we have both stations.
5. Only 5 stations are central
