Tata Thawe extensions is gonna be tough 'cause of TATA CDO limitations and ROU CDO not being so capable! Maurya extension might be doable but the journey gonna be damn tiresome. Remember Maurya used to be Dhanbad - Muzaffarpur Express and then became HTE-GKP, so any attempt to change the route gonna piss off a lot of people. In my opinion, a new train should be introduced...

The reason they came up with this new train is so that GD doesn't get extended from PNBE side in the first place. As soon as there was political pressure from ARA, ECR came up with this train for BGP to prevent it from being extended to ARA. It just shows how DNR treats their own stations if they aren't from the Patna area. If the loco reversal at PNBE was really such a problem, ECR could have easily avoided it by routing the train via Tilaiya, Rajgir after Gaya. Then there wouldn't have been a problem with loco reversal at Patna. The fact that BGP, which is in ER, gets more sympathy than ARA perfectly shows the mindset of DNR_ECR as a whole! Anyway, it always brings joy to my heart when Jharkhand gets a new train. Congratulations to Dumka and folks in Santhal Pargana!

The reason yeh naya train banayi gayi hai woh iss liye hai ki GD PNBE taraf se extend na ho. Jaise hi ARA se political pressure ka hint aaya, ECR ne BGP ke liye yeh train nikali, taaki yeh train PNBE se ARA taraf extend na ho sake. Bas yahi dikha deta hai ki agar kisi station ka Patna area se nahi hai, tab DNR usko kaise treat karta hai. Agar PNBE mein loco reversal itna issue tha toh ECR asani se us issue ko avoid kar sakti thi, Tilaiya, Rajgir ke beech route karke Gaya ke baad, phir Patna mein loco reversal ka koi issue nahi hota. Yeh baat hai ki ER mein hai BGP, jisko ARA se jyada sympathy milti hai, woh DNR_ECR ki mentality bilkul saaf dikhati hai! Kisi bhi tarah se mujhe hamesha khushi hoti hai jab Jharkhand ko koi train milti hai. Dumka aur Santhal Pargana ke logo ko badhai ho!

Yeah, you'll see a bunch of ECR fans here all the time, making no sense, taking over real discussions, and going off topic.
But if you ignore all the favoritism and just look at their actions, it's clear that ECR is the worst zone in Indian Railways, and they're obsessed with Patna for no reason...

Haan, yahaan par tu ECR ke sympathizers bahut milenge, group mein aksar aise hote hain, jinhone bina logic ke justify kiya hai aur asli blogs ko distract karne ki koshish ki hai.
Lekin agar tu sab biases ko hata ke sirf unke vyavahar se nikalne wale sabooton par objektiveli dekhega to, sirf ek hi nateeja niklega ki ECR IR ki sabse ghatiya zone hai aur woh apne Patna ki chipkaliyon se ubar nahi paate...
