What the hell IR is doing I cant understand. There is already demand of connectivity and IR is ignoring everything. The present 22823/Bhubaneswar-NewDelhi Rajdhani Express (via Bokaro) runs through TATA-MURI-BKSC long route with a TRAVEL TIME OF 3 HRS 15 MINS & NO HALT IN BETWEEN. Why cant ECoR divert its... more...
via TATA-PRR-BKSC fast route having travel time of just 2 HRS 45 MINS (SAVING 30 MINS) maximum and having a halt at PRR. Purulia is District Headquarter having a population of 4-5 lakhs and is the 2nd fastest growing city after Asansol in the region. There peoples only hope is Purushottam exp running jam packed all the time.
Earlier, 22823 used to run via PRR but after Loco-pilot change at KGP was adopted, it was diverted via MURI. ECoR later said that they will follow the old route only but those days never came back again. There is a demand for Delhi bond trains from Purulia. Please flag this! You can also check the atlas for proof.
