I have travelled through this route few times, but observed minutely only couple of times when travelling upto Bardhaman. First time, we took a crawling express upto BWN [via main line ] . On returning, we missed the direct non stop local to HWH, so had to take a normal local [again via main line, I think ]. I was impressed to see that a direct local ticket was available for KGP for only Rs 40; which is impressively cheap for 200+ km.
I have a question about the main and chord...

Main and Chord lines differ between Saktigarh and Bally. Main line has a much higher frequency of Locals, especially post Bandel Jn.
Take a look at the picture attached. the identity of the signal says 'HBC' meaning Howrah-Barddhaman Chordline. Similarly there is HBM where M means Mainline. Hence Chord & Main individually starts from Howrah & runs upto BWN, so Bally & Saktigarh do not qualify a Junction criteria.
