STORY OF AN UNDER RATED TRAIN OF ER
Got a Chance today, after a long time, to capture Jamalpur Super Express. Last time i saw it some 8-10 years ago. But the most interesting part is that nothing has changed for this train in all these years even after it gets huge patronage from Jamalpur-Bhagalpur area for Kolkata connectivity. Only a HA1 has been added in all these years in this train. When i checked the chart, i found that most of the reservations have been done upto Howrah. Patronage...
more... in unreserved coach was also more than satisfactory.
ER should now think of increasing the coaches of this train and making it atleast 20 coacher train. Also if possible, ER can think of shifting its PM to JMP (MLDT division) from HWH (HWH division) if pitline constraints is there at Howrah for increment of its rake length
