In fact I think NFR should withdraw Humsafar rake from Champaran HS and run this train as Express train with LHB rake. This HS rake should be used for a HS from NFR to NDLS via faster/shorter route, (using either Arunachal SF's route or 12423's route)
Champaran HS ka patronage sahi nahi hai kya from Bihar?
Down me thik h due to good time but up me bekar h
Down me night journey nikal jata h but up me day b jata h aur night b kuki delhi arrival afternoon hi h iska
Itna long aur slow route hai Katihar se koi prefer nahi karta.. NFR ka HS rake is being used for the betterment of ECR stations :P
HS ka high speed rake sirf CNB-DLI ke beech useful hai, So better that NFR should deploy a normal LHB rake for Champaran HS and use this Humsafar rake for a faster connectivity from NJP/GHY to NDLS..
Katihar psgrs will be more than happy with this arrangement :)
Absolutely correct!Aur ye train to just maintain ke liye Katihar se hai...Main stations are Purnea, Saharsa, Khagaria, Samastipur, Muzaffarpur Towns. NFR should have actually started from New Jalpaiguri or a New Coochbehar which would have facilitated NCB,NJP,KNE,KIR stations; the North Bengal and Bihar part of NFR.
