So I hear that after more than six years the legendary Dhanbad Chandrapura passenger will be back for the expected rush during the Durga Puja. The main reason however is the approaching LS 2024 elections, everybody is aware of that.
However when I looked at the proposed time table, I was dumbfounded at the absolute stupidity of the TT:-
A departure from Dhanbad side after 7 is a waste of time in my opinion.

are no prospective connecting trains at Dhanbad, Rajdhani passengers won't be travelling in the DC passenger for sure....
Rather this train should have been towards Dhanbad side in the morning where the actual demand lies just like the MCD passenger used to run...
And what's with running this train only twice a day, it should have been run six times at the very least....
Early morning departure from DHN
Morning arrival at DHN
Afternoon departure from DHN
Evening arrival at DHN
Evening departure from DHN
Night arrival at DHN

Some other trains that may be considered is a prospective ASN-CRP MEMU via DC line. Post BD and until ASN-GAYA, there is no proper train connectivity between ASN-DHN. A departure after and before BD can serve as a train connection for the people living in the coal belt.

Also a new train to TATA via BKSC,PRR will be much welcome imo!

The passenger service to HTE needs to brought back imho!

Finally, DHN needs a proper political representative else it will absolutely go down the drain...

They have created a TT which will help them to cancel the train again. It should start from Bokaro early morning and make 3 tips/day.

13301/02 should be re-routed via DHN-BKSC-PRR.

13303/04

In an ideal world DC passenger would have been from BKSC and would have made 4-6 trips a day. Alas, railway connectivity in Jharkhand particularly in the Chotanagpur/Western Rarh region is absolutely abysmal and disfunctional!
Just, Look at the state of railway connectivity of Dhanbad to nearby districts.
I am not even going to comment on the ridiculous railway route between Dhanbad and Giridih!

Yes you are right. One rake will be enough for both HZBN & NGRH. And it's important to connect these cities with DHN.

But ye Hazipur walo ko kon samjhayega.
