I still remember , people used to call poorva as Deluxe express.after MGS (towards HWH) next stoppage was DOS (Quite big station, industrial area) and then GAYA.
Today I saw on the internet that this train also halts at BBU (Bhabhua road) and SSM( Sasaram) between MGS and DOS( around 118 KM section) and then at anugrahnarayan road and rafiganj between DOS and GAYA.
So earlier poorva had 1 stoppage between MGS - GAYA (204 KM section). Now the same section is having 5 stoppage of this superfast train
