** Presently NDLS-PNBE Raj is amongst the well patronized Rajs. I think 80-90% of its passengers of this train belong to NDLS-Patna/ Rajendranagar destination.
** Presently it takes 1.5-2 hrs lesser than other SF trains. Diverting the train to 2 hr longer route will virtually kill this train.
** This train shall will cost about 30% to 60% more than SF trains due to its higher base fare & Sampoorna Kranti & Poorva Express shall be preferable over this train.
