During the reign of Sumitra Mahajan. Indore railfans and politicians were like go crazy for a train dedicated to Howrah.
Which ever train they found running in 500kms vicinity to Indore they wished to extend it upto indore!
the list includes
1. MTJ/GWL Chambal Express
...
more... 2. Kota Patna Express
3. Pratham Swatantrata Sangram Express
4. Bhopal Howrah Express
5. Agra Cantt Kolkata Express.
They didn't care if the train is feasible or not and if rake is available or not, they just wanted extension. Because jhansi lies on the route of chambal express, they eyed on PSS which used to run dedicated from JHS to KOAA.
