Uploading Some of the Pictures of my Recent Trip in 18604 Godda - Ranchi Express.
Extension of this train is such a waste of a resource, train just comes from Godda to Bhagalpur with most of the reserved sleeping coaches in Locked Condition. it's just like a train runs around 4hr in either direction just to get parked.
I don't think if there were more than 20 people (only in 2s) inside the train before it reached at Bhagalpur. Even the enroute pax of Mandar Hill and Barahat are not showing any interest...
more... in this train as well.
Train was completely packed on that day after Bhagalpur and Jamalpur, this train needs to be upgraded to a 18 coacher train with 1-2 more 3A and SL. It's hard to believe that Even there were no seats vacant in 1A of this train on that day.
