what about extending this train upto New Coochbehar and another LHB rake being made available..........if the train timings are changed and adjusted i.e. 2.20pm from NJP(12.00 FROM New Coochbehar) and 6.30am from HWH then it will definitely be beneficial for the travellers and the occupancy will increase exponentially......there are problems in the current timings
1.when the train reaches at njp in night,it becomes highly impossible for tourists,passengers to go to darjeeling,dooars,jalpaiguri,maynaguri.coochbehar.
2.it is also impossible for tourists to catch the train at 5.00 am in the morning.
but
...
more...
if the train timings are reversed(even if another rake is not made available and it departs from njp only) these problems can be addressed...
again if this train is extended upto new coochbehar,it can attract captive markets of coochbehar,alipurduar,lower assam,falakata,maynaguri,dinhata,dooars etc
again people dont get any regualr train after kanchenjungha in the morning to come to north bengal,northeast......

yes that is an issue...but again it is only using 10 coaches and arranging another set of 10 coaches dont really seems to be an uphill task......if Rae-bareilly can provide another set of 10 coaches or even if old ICF coaches(by ICF Chennai or RCF Kapurthala) by the time LHBs are available,they can be made to run ..............addressing the issue with due interest will solve the problem............

    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...
