Yeah , that too when Dhanbad was in ER not ECR, So haven't ECR felt yet that there's need for another train in the section, the new zones were carved out to meet the needs in better way but ECR engulfed all to serve Bihar only.
Tell me another instance of section that have incredibly low frequency of Express trains, and which are not yet connected by own zone train, despite the fact that the section has 10+ stations in top 50 most revenue generating stations of ECR and the route can...
more... serve trains for West and south india directly.
Howrah/ Tata/ Dhanbad , BRKA bypass, DTO, CPU Bypass, SGRL, NKJ to JBP - BPQ/ NGP or NKJ to Bina - RTM .
please wait...Translate to EnglishYeah, man! And guess what, in the past, Dhanbad was in ER, not ECR. So, ECR hasn't even realized yet that there's a damn need for another train in that section. They created new zones to meet the needs in a better way, but ECR just swallowed everything up to serve Bihar only.
Can you believe it? I know another crazy example of a section with super low frequency of Express trains. And to top it off, it's not even connected by its own zone train. Despite having more than 10 stations in the top 50 revenue-generating stations of ECR, this route can actually serve trains for West and South India directly.
I'm talking about Howrah, Tata, Dhanbad, BRKA bypass, DTO, CPU Bypass, SGRL, NKJ to JBP - BPQ/ NGP or NKJ to Bina - RTM. It's like they just don't care, dude!
