1. In reality Asansol is the most punctual division in ER. Trains in malda and sealdah are provided with huge slacks and yet are delayed. Asansol gets much less slack and yet punctuality is ok.
2. Asansol earns most in ER due to Iron and Steel and coal transportation and loading. Howrah and sealdah don't take freights thats why it is second else it would be last.
3. Take out Bhagalpur and Jamalpur , malda div is useless. Howrah sealdah and asansol are the biggest railway stations in the respective divisions.

more... Asansol and Howrah are the only good divisions in ER. Sealdah is ok but malda is garbage! Transfer HQs to someplace more deserving like BGP instead of a village that is Bangladesh 2.0.
