I wonder why HWH Division and ER as a whole are hell bent on screwing up one of their NSG-2 stations, and yes, I am talking about Bardhaman Jn.
Neither of the two newly launched VBs is stopping at the second biggest station of HWH Division after departing from HWH!
22309 is stopping at a station like Nonihat which is unlikely to fetch any passengers at all, while subtly skipping BWN.
22303

is given 16 car trainset whilst it isn't terminating at either BSB,DDU or PNBE! Meanwhile it will directly be competing with one of ER's Shatabdi for patronage upto DHN.
Either or both of this trains should have been given a halt at BWN.
BWN maybe in the Kolkata Suburban Railway but the peculiar way it get's neglected is not seen in other metropolitan systems be it in Chennai or Mumbai!

Ironic isn't it that we find ourself in a situation that two premium trains from the same CDO are competing for patronage, such clownery can only happen in ER!
Kolkata as a city is a early riser. Early morning transportation is excellent. 22303 could easily be preponed by an hour and run upto BSB. Yes the e2e TAT at BSB would be minimal and it would probably reach HWH at around 22:00 hours, but there would never be any doubt on the patronage. All 16 cars would be filled up, the demand in the KOAA-BSB sector is so high year long. Even 12019/20 has a minimal TAT @RNC. Like you said it seems that ER hasn't learnt anything from the HWH-DHN

DD disaster.

I wouldn't even say anything more about BWN beside my OP rant, you and everyone else have already made such good points.
Let's enjoy the circus playing out in the mean time!

I believe expressing frustration over social media won't help. If we (residents of BWN) need to improve the situation, then we need to act. If we can agree, then I would be happy if we, the BWN based railfans can meet someday to discuss on it to find out a way to demand, or to chalk out further action if the demands are turned down.

Useful
AC Sleeper coaches, else we also had CC, HB in ICF and EC in LHB stock.

Fun-fact: there used to be HC( AC First Class cum AC Chair Car) coaches as well in ICF conventional stock. One such coach was there in 12391/92( then 2401/02) NDLS - PNBE Shramjeevi Express.

So, NER is most likely to start this train using the Amrit Bharat rake. Although, the route is quite unnecessarily longer, I understand NER wanted to cover its territory and HQ over NR but after GMO going via such a longer route again.

Well, that is illogical to think. PURI-DRG EXP is proposed using rake of PURI-ANVT via KDJR to serve that purpose. This is unnecessarily longer in NER and then SER and ECoR.

After CNI, should have gone via TATA. We all know the amount of rush in 12875/76 between TATA and LKO. This would have made it faster also.

Patna Tejas Rajdhani Express mein sirf patna ke log nahi board krte hai even kai aur regions ke log bhi travel krte so unnke liye yeh current timing bhi kaafi better hai kyuki Phir different mode of transport se bhi morning tak apne destination poach jaate why should we fix something which is not broken ..
