Leaving Dhanbad aside, this train is a bigger loss for Howrah .
This train was a huge hit when it ran via the Grand Chord. DHN always had a RLWL quota on this train so it wasn't that much affected by DHN.
SDAH Duronto when it had GNWL from DHN used to get high patronage. But that was changed to RLWL too. Regarding booking from DHN-NDLS it is still allowed.
