A view on patronage of these trains-
In the current scenario, the Humsafar train on Wednesday is slower than SF with higher fare will only benefit last minute travelers!!
On Friday, again GR is available... But Humsafar will reach early but is slower with higher fare!!!
Overall, unless the days of run are changed, I don't see much patronage...
Infact...
more... one of the trains should run ex NGP on Thursday, as there is not train orginiating from NGP...
The AC express to Ajni... ex Pune gets good patronage as it runs on Friday... For the same reason!!!
