ASR ⇌ CNB/LKO (883/955 km) would b too long. agreed.
#1 instead, ASR ⇌ MTJ/AGC/RMR (589/643/686 km) would b better choices wrt distance / time traveled / tight schedule.
(no trains exist for ASR - RMR as of now)
...
more... #2 I would also b interested to c patronage of ASR ⇌ RE / BKI / MB / BE / ALJN / AF (TDL bypass) [532/667/616/704/579/675 km]
(for ASR - RE/BKI, only weeklies exist as of now)
(for ASR - MB/BE, many trains but r via SRE)
(for ASR - ALJN/TDL, only amrapali and muri exist as of now)
#3 CDG/KLK ⇌ CNB (678/703 km), it can b extended to LKO once E2E is 130kmph.
(only Unchahar, Kalka Mail and Muri exist as of now)
#4 I had similar suggestion for eXtension of DDN ⇌ ANVT to AGC
