instead of extension, This train should run daily or atleast triweekly.
I remember when it was introduced in 2012, I was staying at Pakur and this was the only train connecting Pakur to my Home District Amravati (Badnera Jn). So i have traveled a lot in this train and saw the huge response. In those days it use to run with 5 SL, 1 3AC, 1 3AC-cum-2AC, 5 General coaches and 2 SLR with loco UDL or BKSC WDM from MLDT to DGR and the ASN WAM4 from DGR to ST.
It was...
more... always getting late at DGR by taking halt for 2 or 3 hours.
Now it become 22 coach train with 13 AC coaches and PC and only 3 SL & 2 general.
