Official Trip to Rudrapur the very next day after coming from Mumbai /blog/post/5824286
DOJ- 04th September 2023
Departs from Platform# 2. Typical NR Premium Train Maintenance, Coaches are old look old but you won't be able to locate a flaw there. Many Coaches in between without "Kathgodam" Board 😂
Almost 20 Seats were Empty, Luckily the seat besides me was also empty so

enjoyed benefit of two Seats 🥳
Typical Hot Breakfast, nothing Special. As usual tried everything, Catering Guy was heavily greedy so didn't tip him at all.
Good Priority enroute, reached Moradabad Outer 37 minutes before time had a good 15 minute halt at Moradabad. Tried capturing Danapur Anand Vihar Terminal Jan Sadharan Express which was standing at Outer waiting for Ala Hazrat Express to clear Platform.
This train has a good 15 minute halt at Rudrapur City as well waiting for Uttaranchal Sampark Kranti to cross. Didn't click pictures of it's coaches as they were pathetic and smelled badly.

When a busy station wants to dump out train it's treated as an extended intercity mostly.
Balrampur on it's own doesn't have much demand for anywhere. This way atleast it gets a somewhat dedicated connection to Lucknow, Delhi and Agra. That train is majorly getting filled by Bareilly, Lucknow and Moradabad only.
Like Jabalpur Amravati Express between Nagpur and Amravati. Many extended trains from Bengaluru to Mysuru- there even certain Sleeper Coaches are marked as unreserved and 3A Coaches marked as AC Chair Car with Chair Car Fare for Bengaluru Mysuru Section. Kai

Yes, there was a Shatabdi back then which was i guess converted into Intercity because back then People didn't had enough money to spend on AC. Even Varanasi Shatabdi from Delhi would've failed back then had it been introduced. Nowadays situation is different. A Shatabdi is definitely needed here. A reverse Vande Bharat from Kathgodam via Bareilly for New Delhi could actually do wonders here. Normal Intercites would turn into Overnight Service thanks to "exceptional controlling" of NR Moradabad Division 😂. A Premium Service is required.
