Good initiative but why long route from santragachi via ramrajatala, dasnagar, liluah...it should be direct from santragachi via the amta route to bally/ dankuni that route. And from KHARAGPUR via Andul....Via dasnagar and liluah too much rush...of SER trains towards howrah, ER chord and main line train towards howrah goods trains also pass via thst howrah bypass line from liluah to tikiapara...
But good initiative a direct train from KHARAGPUR to dumdum or Sealdah is required....
But my question is why SER do not take this initiative first...why ER always takes
...
more...
these kind of initiative to run passenger trains to new routes discover new routes...SER has lot of options but do not at all active to take any initiative.
I will not be surprised to see if this inspection is successful then ER will start EMU service from Sealdah to Santragachi, maybe we can see Sealdah to Digha, Sealdah to Haldia someday. Many routes are available in SER to discover and start new emu, memu trains but sorry to say no initiative by SER at all neglecte Passenger routes years after years.
Few possibility in SER
KHARAGPUR-DIGHA EMU
KHARAGPUR-HALDIA EMU
ADRA-DIGHA MEMU
HOWRAH-DIGHA DIRECT EMU
KHARAGPUR-AMTA VIA BAGNAN, ANDUL
These are only emu sections in memu/ Passenger trains section lots and lots of options are available in SER to improve connectivity but no initiative.

Digha is the worst hit of SER's latency.

Re# 4339012-3              
Yes Digha has huge potential almost similar to New jalpaiguri stn...because Digha, Darjeeling, siliguri are the main tourist destinations for bengali in short trips. Digha has huge potential for Passenger train...should be connected very well to all parts of WB specially to Kharagpur, bankura, jhargram, purulia, burdwan, birbhum all over.....no emu direct train from howrah till date have to do break journeys not possible for tourists with luggage. SER has fully neglected digha over years.....i think had digha been on ER then till now full connectivity to all over WB by EMU,MEMU, PGR,EXPREss train would have been establised with pitlines yards etc at Digha....but SER useless....only freight trains of haldia dock runs through panskura-tamluk-haldia stress no importance to Passenger trains.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
