ECR is very smart to stop the extension of this to Ara and remove the 19 hours lieover of rake placing at Patna they decided to run this upto Dumka as a new train but seriously it was not needed as same time there is sahibganj intercity.For giving Dumka a new train they should have run unreserved train but ECR wants to utilise the lieover which was more easier than introducing any new train hence ganga damodar some days gets delayed due to it's RSA.
please wait...Translate to EnglishECR made a smart move to not extend the train to Ara and eliminate the 19-hour stop at Patna. Instead, they decided to run the train up to Dumka as a new service. However, it might not have been necessary as the Sahibganj intercity runs at the same time. To give Dumka a new train, they could have run an unreserved service, but ECR chose to use the layover time instead of introducing a new train. This sometimes causes delays for the Ganga Damodar due to its sharing same rake arrangement.
please wait...Translate to HindiECR bahut smart hai ki iska extension Ara tak roka aur Patna pe rake ko 19 ghante tak rukne se bachaya, iska Dumka tak chalane ka faisla kiya lekin sach baat toh yeh tha ki iski koi zarurat nahi thi kyunki isi time, Sahibganj Intercity bhi hai. Dumka ko new train dene ke bajaye, ECR ko unreserved train chalani chahiye thi par unhone lieover ka istemal karna chuna jo kisi naye train ko shuru karne se zyada aasan tha, isliye Ganga Damodar kuch din deri se chalti hai iski wajah se.
