Indian Railways should try out a new Jan-Shatabdi train between HWH & PNBE, in the reverse order of the existing train!
An effort can be made to run it via Gaya! This would be a different experience and considering the route via GAYA being only 19 kms longer than the one via Jasidih, Jhajha, can be definitely tried out. Furthermore this would iron out several problems, most notably GAYA's connectivity woes with Kolkata! Barring a daily circuitous express via BGP, GAYA residents have to be fully dependent on long distance trains for coming towards Kolkata side! Similar problem is also faced by the residents of Koderma in Jharkhand! So it would to be to the best interests of the people of...
more... this region, that a Jan-shatabdi is run from HWH to PNBE via the Grand Chord!
The only problem would be to get a Jan-shatabdi rake, which I am sure IR can manage if it wishes!
What do you all say ?
