Re# 6046040-1              
Asansol or New Jalpaiguri are the best alternative candidates. They are the next largest cities and SK concept dictates that either the capital or one of the most important cities in the state should serve as originating point for a SK service. However given their location, a WBSK from ASN/NJP wouldn't have served WB in the first place.
That's why running from SDAH was probably the best decision, and infact this train's frequency deserves to be increased. The SDAH - ASR can be moved to a seperate slot or re-routed via BSB-LKO-SRP.

Yes adding a extra RORO service at the Khana link cabin to the UP slow line in the BWN-ASN section, would definitely bolster connectivity with Shantiniketan area with the Shipanchal area.

Another thing that has to be done ASAP is the alternate DC line being built quickly so that the train services between DHN & RNC can be seamless and increased in load. The existing line is on it's last leg and more and more services are being introduced on this line.

New trains like JSME-VSG and the existng running trains on the DC line are running at a great risk, and the expected date of completion of the reallignment i.e 2027 might be a bit too late I am afraid. Who knows whether the existing DC line may survive for that long...

For the new DC line, bypass at GMO is being considered. But the main bottleneck is the river bridge near CRP, which slows trains down considerably.

Useful Useful Thanks
Just one correction, 8689/90 BKSC - ALLP Express got extended to DHN circa 2002-03. It was already under ECR, then.

You have more or less listed(almost all) problems pertaining to the present state of BKSC. All terminating/originating trains of BKSC were lost to other nearby stations. 8689/90 BKSC - ALLP was extended to DHN, 2019/20 HWH - BKSC Shatabdi got extended to RNC, and the last one HWH - BKSC Passenger/Express got extended to RNC indirectly through its RSA partner BKSC - RNC Passenger.
...

The pitline at BKSC is in a very bad state now(it is damaged). At this time, when the Government is investing so much in infrastructures, it's very sad to see the state of railway station of a prominent industrial town in the state of Jharkhand. Bokaro Steel City deserves a lot better.

A parasite ЁЯжа is what I call ADRA division, surviving on the revenue of BKSC. Most of its revenue comes from freight to which BKSC contributes the highest and still the station building of ADRA is getting completed first . Why ??? I donтАЩt need to even explain this Amrit Bharat scam being run by ADRA.

BKSC has been moved out of GEN quota from its own train which now runs as DHN-ALLP EXP.
...

BKSC has been moved out of GEN quota from RNC-HWH Shatabdi which was its train once.

Even RNC division has removed GEN quota from
many trains even though both are SER, but retained for MURI. I mean I donтАЩt want to even talk about the logic here.

MLA, MP, division, zone and IR as whole has been a complete disappointment. Even after so many years of independence BKSC doesnтАЩt have direct trains to Bangalore, Pune, Jammu, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Ahmedabad, Bhopal, Indore, Trivandrum, and many more places.

Such a shame for the 4th largest and important industrial city of Jharkhand.

Re# 6018017-36              
That is why extensions are such a sham and so detrimental to the original station in the first place. BKSC is allocated PQWL in 13351 that was it's own train once.
RNC Division has cut off BKSC from several of it's train inspite of the fact that both lie in SER, because the divisional changeover is there. MURI lies in RNC Division and leaps the benefits of GNWL there.
Similarly ASN is now facing the RLWL axe on several trains originating from KOAA side.
...
more...

That is why I was originally sympathetic to the guy from MLDT when Farakkha got extended. While MLDT retains GNWL as of now, it is likely to be discarded from the next ARP, as zonal changeover is there.
