You either need to have a huge population or be a travel destination to attract sufficient passengers throughout the year to a dedicated train. Sadly, ARA lacks both, and that's something the people are not ready to understand.
Bhagalpur and Godda are situated so that even if Godda can't sustain a train, BGP can handle it, both being in ER/Malda, it's a win-win for ER and both the stations.

With ARA that's the case only in one direction, towards Patna, and that's the direction for which trains really have been extended for. Otherwise it's either DDU or NR/NCR pocketing the revenue.

Bhagalpur aur Godda aise sthit hain ki agar Godda train ko sambhal nahi paati, to BGP dekh lega, dono ER/Malda mein hain, ye ER aur dono stations ke liye win-win hai.
ARA mein yeh sirf ek disha mein hua, Patna ki taraf, aur trains ko extend karne wale sirf uss disha mein hain. Warna ya toh DDU ya NR/NCR revenue ko sambhalte rehte hain.
