Not a good news for the Shekhawati people. Booking of NEW DELHI is allowed only from BIKANER in 12260/12259 BIKANER-SEALDAH & SEALDAH-BIKANER DURONTO AC EXPRESS & not allowed from RATANGARH,CHURU,SADULPUR & LOHARU. Then why these stoppages?
It's better to give booking from these stations upto New delhi. So it will get better passenger load on extended portion otherwise it will run on extended portion without load.If not so then railways should not give this train that much stoppages and reduce it's travel time if booking is not allowed. It will be beneficial for the people travel from end to end in terms of time. It should be stopped only at one station from Bikaner & New Delhi, if booking is not allowed....
more... Waste of train extension. Just for political terms.
Same will happen with 12240/12239 JAIPUR-MMCT & MMCT-JAIPUR AC DURONTO EXPRESS which is extended to HISAR via LOHARU-JHUNJHUNU-SIKAR. Not a good policy by railways.
