टाटानगर-बरहमपुर वंदे भारत ट्रेन को नहीं मिल रहे यात्री

The Tatanagar-Berhampur Vande Bharat Express, launched on September 18th, is experiencing low passenger turnout despite the high demand for the Ranchi-Howrah and other routes. Despite offering empty seats daily, the train is being operated via Chaibasa, deviating from its original route via Hijili. The train's occupancy remains low, with only a...

few passengers boarding after Chaibasa, even though it stops at several stations. The train's route via Chaibasa and its timing, coinciding with the existing crowded express trains, are cited as possible reasons for the low ridership. Suggestions have been made to change the route to Hijili-Balasore to attract more passengers, similar to the popular Ranchi, Patna, and Rourkela routes.

Tatanagar-Berhampur Vande Bharat Express, 18 September ko launch hua, me yaatriyon ki kami hai, jabki Ranchi-Howrah aur dusre routes pe bheed hai. Train Chaibasa se hoke chal rahi hai, apna original route Hijili se change karke. Har din khali seats hai, lekin Chaibasa ke baad ...

kam hi log train me chadhte hai. Vande Bharat train ke timing aur route ko low ridership ka reason mana ja raha hai. Hijili-Balasore se hoke route change karne ka suggestion diya gaya hai, taaki Ranchi, Patna aur Rourkela jaise routes ki tarah ispe bhi bheed ho.

People in this route cannot afford the high price of such premium trains. Here Passenger trains, Memu trains and Intercity trains having General Unreserved Coaches are required.

दिवाली-छठ में धनबाद आने वालों का सहारा बनेगी जम्मूतवी स्पेशल

A special train service has commenced between Dhanbad and Jammu Tawi, operating every Tuesday until November 26th. The train, which will run every Wednesday from Jammu Tawi to Dhanbad starting October 2nd, is designed to cater to Dhanbad residents working in Punjab and UP for the Diwali and Chhath festivals....
more...
The train also provides an option for those travelling to Kashmir and Himachal during Navratri for Vaishno Devi pilgrimage and sightseeing. The train utilizes Garībrath coaches, making it more affordable compared to standard third-class economy and AC coaches. Some residents are questioning the use of the Garībrath coaches for this route, suggesting it could instead be used for the Dhanbad-Bhubaneswar route, leading to lower fares and possible extension to Puri. The Dhanbad-Bhubaneswar route currently uses traditional ICF coaches. The Dhanbad-Jammu Tawi special train is using the old Garībrath coaches, previously assigned to the Ranchi-New Delhi Garībrath, after the latter received new three-economy class coaches.

Dhanbad aur Jammu Tawi ke beech ek special train service shuru ho gayi hai, jo har Mangalvaar ko chlegi, 26 November tak. Train har Budhvaar ko Jammu Tawi se Dhanbad ke liye bhi chlegi, 2 October se 27 November tak. Yeh train Dhanbad mein rehne walon ke liye Diwali aur Chhath...

ke liye, jo Punjab aur UP mein kaam karte hain, ek madad hogi. Navratri mein Vaishno Devi pilgrimage aur Kashmir aur Himachal ki sair ke liye jaane walon ke liye bhi yeh ek option hai. Train mein Garibrath coaches hain, toh yeh normal third-class economy aur AC coaches se sasta hai. Kuchh log yeh puchh rahe hain ki kyun Dhanbad-Bhubaneswar route ke liye Garibrath coaches use nahi kiye ja rahe hain. Agar yeh coaches use kiye jaayen toh Bhubaneswar ka ticket kam hoga, aur train Puri tak ja sakti hai. Dhanbad-Bhubaneswar route mein abhi traditional ICF coaches use hote hain. Dhanbad-Jammu Tawi special train mein, purani Garibrath coaches use kiye ja rahe hain, jo pehle Ranchi-New Delhi Garibrath mein thi, jabki Ranchi Garibrath ko new three-economy class coaches mil gaye hain.
