Great Useful
The TT of 12339 Howrah - Dhanbad Coalfield must be revised. It reaches Dhanbad by 21.45 Hrs. or 21.50 Hrs which creates a huge problem who come to Dhanbad to catch 13307 Ganga Sutlej Express.

Yesterday, Coalfield reached at 21.48 Hrs and many passengers were not able to catch Ganga Sutlej, many caught by running on the platform.

/ ER must make a proposal to change the TT of 12339 Coalfield Express and a arrival at 21.30 Hrs. will be suitable.

Re# 6190646-6              
Since the slot of 12259 was changed, it resulted in holdups.
13021 is made to wait at BWN PF2 for atleast 30mins until 12259 passes through PF1 at around 18:25.

Subsequently 13045 is held at BWN outer/ or PF3 for 35 mins & 12339 is also made to wait at BWN outer for 20 mins until 13045 clears mainline.

Great
Coalfield and Agnibeena both have experienced massive downgrade from their earlier statuses as being the most important/coveted intercity trains in their sector.
I remember in my childhood, there was a time when Coalfield used to scheduled at 21:30 hrs, by 21:20 it used to reach Dhanbad outers almost daily.
Coalfield and Black both have experienced gradual slowdowns in their TT.
I have heard stories

of a time from my grandmother (that obviously predates my birth), people particularly those in the railway colonies in the Old Station area would tell time by when Coalfield's incoming whistle could be heard...

From Wikipedia: "A lot of people from adjoining districts like Bokaro, Koderma, Giridih come to Dhanbad early morning to catch the 'morning trains' to various destinations like Kolkata, Durgapur, Jamshedpur, Ranchi, Patna, Burdwan and Gaya"
Our beloved home division which takes best care of daily passengers by running intercity types trains to prevent hassle free crowding in long distance sleeper trains
I think DHN is one of few station in india to have a intercity type train departing in morning and arriving in evening for every possible route from DHN
