* No station of SECR and Chhatisgarh have connectivity to Chandigarh/Una Himachal, hence new train is required.
* It is imprudent to operate a daily 24 coacher train from Ambikapur-Anuppur-Katni- Route as there is no city on ABKP-Apuppur-KTE section which can feed enough paxs to the train.
* Ambikapur-Anuppur section have very less population density and have low number of long distance paxs. Instead the train should move towards BSP-Raipur-Bhilai-Durg route from Anuppur to ensure a much better patronage. Slip coaches may be connected from Anuppur to give connectivity to Ambikapur.
