Why can't Amrit Bharat trains be a subset of Mail/Express trains? Why can't the train from Ayodhya be called "Ayodhya - Darbhanga Express"? Apart from push/pull stuff, there is nothing revolutionary. It's not like the interiors suddenly resemble a modern Swiss coach. IR must be the only railways with more than a dozen category of trains already running; each having overlaps with one another. Most of them can just be subsumed under the Mail/Express category[ be it Antyodaya, Duronto, Sampark Kranti or what not; there are basically just minor differences].

Its all marketing and political branding. Just because Duronto, Shatabdi, JS, SK were started by opposition parties they will be slowly pushed to darkness. Each govt want to show its stamp and efficacy in working through these brands, to help them in elections. But in the backend official machinery stays the same. No need to go far even Antyodaya and HS are slowly moving to anonymity
Duronto are basically superfast trains with less stoppages. Jan Shatabdis all reserved ICE trains with higher surcharge and Sampark Kranti a type of Express/Superfast train that has most stoppages in it's home state. All were rebrandings of one or the other, to a certain extent.
This train should have the stoppage at Jajpur Keonjhar Road/JJKR.
It's much bigger than Belda, Jaleswar & Soro etc.

I am surprised that it is skipping Jajpur Keonjhar Road, usually express trains on this route skip Belda and Soro but stop there.
Absolutely right!
Whole Kalingnagar industrial belt and other areas people depends upon JJKR for boarding trains.
