RailFans never grow old

I wonder why the HWH Division and ER as a whole are so determined to mess up one of their NSG-2 stations, and yes, I’m talking about Bardhaman Junction. Neither of the two newly launched VBs is stopping at the second biggest station in the HWH Division after leaving HWH! Train 22309 is stopping at a station like Nonihat, which is unlikely to attract any passengers at all, while it’s conveniently skipping BWN. Train 22303 is given a 16-car trainset while it's not terminating at either BSB, DDU, or PNBE! Meanwhile, it will be directly competing with one of ER's Shatabdi trains for passengers up to DHN. Either or both of these trains should have stopped at BWN. BWN may be part of the Kolkata Suburban Railway, but the odd way it gets neglected isn't seen in other metropolitan systems, whether in Chennai or Mumbai!

Mujhe samajh nahi aata ki HWH Division aur ER kyu ek apne NSG-2 station ko kharab karne par lage hain, aur haan, main Bardhaman Jn ke baare mein baat kar raha hun. HWH se nikalne ke baad HWH Division ke doosre sabse bade station par naye launch kiye gaye dono VBs nahi ruk rahe hain! 22309 ek aise station par ruk raha hai jaise Nonihat, jo bilkul bhi yatri nahi laane wala hai, jabki BWN ko chhod raha hai. 22303 ko 16 car trainset diya gaya hai jabki yeh BSB, DDU ya PNBE par terminate nahi ho raha! Iske beech yeh seedha ER ke ek Shatabdi ke saath mukabla karega jo DHN tak hai. In dono trains me se kisi ko bhi BWN par rukne ka mauka milna chahiye tha. BWN ho sakta hai Kolkata Suburban Railway mein, par iski ajeeb tarike se nazarandazi anya metropolitan systems jese Chennai ya Mumbai mein nahi dekhi gayi!
