I am a weekly traveller of these trains and have seen people in Asansol thronging all 3 trains. You don’t need to tell me the difference as well as importance of these trains. However, in my opinion, one of the trains could have been extended (mostly Intercity will bear the burnt or a new train should be introduced). I remember when MB was the RM Bidhan was considered to extend up to CRJ.
And if u read my statement, I am up for a new train. But until and unless demand...
more... goes from our side, it won’t happen. Hence I believe right noises are being made now in this direction. If ER cancels the proposal of extension, they should look to introduce new trains. I mean from every probable cities of ER, we have a morning intercity for Howrah. Mostly Asn Jsme Giridih is the only route which doesn’t have a morning connection to Kolkata. Being a metropolitan city, it holds its own significance for business class people .
