Okay, so there are two stubborn imaginary trains created by me, which are not required now. But, however much I delete them, they still return the next day I login. This never happened with any other deleted imaginary trains of mine earlier. How to delete this pair permanently?

Great Great Great
Returned from DGR to HWH today (for the umpteenth time). The train was just on fire today! In fact, upto Bandel, it has always been fire, but after that, it fails to maintain the same speed (due to traffic increase in that section). But today, don't know how, but even after Bandel, the train was absolutely steady, and in fact, arrived Liluah 15 mins in advance! It halted at Liluah for about 3-4 mins, and then started steadily proceeding towards Howrah. It arrived on platform 7 at 18:02 sharp! AMAZING EXPERIENCE THIS TIME 🔥

This train should be scheduled to run daily, and via Gaya in the remaining four days. Also, a halt at DGR should also be added. The train has halts at much less busy stations. Adding a halt at DGR would actually enhance the ridership of this train.

Upto Bandel, it's just fire. But after that, it has to reduce its speed. Actually, the reversible track between Bandel and Howrah acts as another up track in the evening due to more trains travelling up than down then (since passengers mostly return from Kolkata). Hence, the number of down tracks becomes only one, due to which, there's no chance of overtaking. And since there are no halts in between unlike the local trains in front of it, it has to reduce its overall speed.

Between BWN and BDC, number of local trains are decent. But between BDC and HWH, there's BWN local, there's KWAE local, and ofc, BDC local itself. Hence, traffic increases manifold. And this worsens after SHE, when TAK/GOGT local also join.

Yes. Earlier, Hool and Ganadevta used to share rakes. But now, Ganadevta shares rakes with Kaviguru and Sahid, while Hool has its own single dedicated rake.

This is the only general intercity train to Asansol and further from Kolkata in the morning. For travelling from Asansol to Kolkata, there are 3 trains in the morning (12342, 12384 and 12340). But in the opposite direction, there is only 1 train, and that is this one (22387). The problem is, when the train would receive LHB rake about a month later (10 Jan 2025), the number of coaches would drastically reduce from 22 to 16, which involves a reduction of 8 general coaches (6 removed and 2 replaced by reserved coaches). This is the only morning option present, and hence, already the crowd is a lot. Now if 8 general coaches are removed or replaced, the travel experience would just be unimaginable in the general coaches, severely impacting the commute of the daily passengers. So please, if you read it till here, please help spread the message. For reserved...

travel, options such as 12019 and 22303 already exist. Let Black Diamond Express be the way it is. It too already has 4 2S and 2 CC coaches, WHICH IS ENOUGH!
LET NOT THE COACH COMPOSITION AND COUNT CHANGE AFTER LHBFICATION. 22 ICF COACHES FOR SUCH AN IMPORTANT TRAIN CAN BECOME 20 LHB COACHES AT THE MOST. OTHERWISE, INTRODUCE ANOTHER NORMAL MORNING INTERCITY TRAIN FROM KOLKATA VIA ASANSOL. PLEASE DISCUSS AND SPREAD THIS.
