1. MFR MP: Overnight ka halt at SRID. Absolutely nonsense. It'll be better if the MP actually thinks about the development of his constituency than indulge in malarkey.
2. JBP MP: Corona me band hui trains should be started again (JBP Kota Express, ET KTE Express). GGGS aur GRG ko WCR me include karne se na jane kya expectations hain inke. WCR already MML aur ADTL k liye kuchh nahin kar raha. JBP R VB again illogical. Instead VM can be tried. JBP ASR train a good suggestion. MPSK daily isn't required. MML par JBP SMNH aur GR ka halt is a great and the most valuable suggestion. In fact JBP ki saari trains should halt at MML.

STA MP: STA AYC train isn't required I guess. Pax can change from ALD if required.
4. HBD MP: Great suggestion to increase the number of UR and SL coaches.
5. DMO MP: DMO se NGP train kaise chal sakti. There aren't terminal facilities I guess.
6. SGRL MP: SGRL BPL and SGRL NZM ki frequency abhi to increase hui thi. Itna rush hai kya in trains me?
7. RS MP: JBP Pune train to shayad 15 years se special ki tarah hi chal rahi. Saari political trains regular ho jati/ regular introduce hoti, but these JBP k politicians are impotent. JBP HYB can be tried via G NGP if the days of operation and schedule are carefully worked out.

Express has been operating between Bilaspur and Nagpur since December 2022, six days a week, excluding Saturdays. The new train will depart from Durg instead of Raipur due to the availability of a coaching yard at Durg.

The train will be a chair car and will stop at Durg, Raipur, Mahasamund, Khariyar Road, Kantabanji, Titlagarh, Raigarh, Parvatipuram, and Vizianagaram on its way to Visakhapatnam. However, the official announcement of stoppages and fare is yet to be released by the Railways.
