Maintenance is good my coach is B1 infact economy coaches are also well maintained unlike pathetic psk. NJP cDO needs to work on display boards. B1 is marked on a4 sheet 😂. As I am writing the staff passed by spraying freshner

---

One thing I noticed could not capture though, my train passed kursela bridge through new bridge. Any update regarding this

---

Haha are I know that. When we come towards KIR then we pass through newly constructed bridge but while going towards NNA train crossed the newly constructed bridge today instead of old bridge 😃

---

NFR has been ruthless in adding ac coaches for North bound trains.

---

You know cleanliness is good due to frequent obhs but coach condition is weird. Toilet fittings not properly working. In second ac washroom jets were not working or mildly working to be precise. Handwash not present I mean just for name shake some highly diluted foams comes out Linens are perfect though they will not provide towel but after asking to provide he first told he will have to bring the towel from H1 😃 and after 10 minutes he gave me the towel. In all obhs linens these all are good. Coach maintenance be it window or be it washroom maintenance a thumbs down 👎 there.

---

Yes 3rd ac now a days, I don't expect much more as gone are those days when even on standing platforms window glasses were cleaned, but respective cdo should atleast take care of basics like washroom tap workings handwashes etc. My adjacent coach is A3 and washroom was equally pathetic maintenance wise. This train had a good image in my mind earlier but this time points would be down.quite possible whole rake needs an overhaul.

---

Mahananda has become a good train now few months back I travelled from pryj to dli. Coach condition was good but too many unauthorised passengers after kanpur and enroute stations was a major problem in that train. Amrapali is way better in everything but timings and schedule is bad.

---

A new bypass line is in progress at lalitgram. Could not take pictures but I saw. And rigorous work in progress for dbg bypass. After that few trains should originate from katihar via purnea fbg. That will develope the most neglected region in effective way. That route is awesome but needs to be straightened.

---

I was in 3rd ac. I generally travel in 3rd ac when travelling alone. Condition of train was good but became hectic after kanpur.Didn't check 2ac but who knows. However I didn't let anyone to sit on my SL but for this thing you will mostly have to show some agression.

---

The quality of 3a travelling can be significantly increased if earlier arrangement of curtains would be re-instated.

---

That route will be connecting ARARIA towards FBG and ARARIA COURT towards katihar so in both direction trains will come for sure and if rajdhani or some other sfs will be diverted or introduced on this route will mostly be following the route towards ARARIA COURT , PURNEA, KATIHAR covering two major passenger providing stations. Freight movements will likely be higher on straight route going towards FBG dbg bypass.

---

Yes in araria court I saw this line coming from thakurganj side. In IRI Atlas perhaps it has not been mapped but on ground whole track was seen there. This will truly distribute some load from boe section. Big question is, Rangpo rajdhani on cards.?

---

I seriously hope it takes your mentioned route. The deserted purnea junction will get premium service then

---

If faster connectivity will be the criteria MLDT route not feasible at all due to being longer route. New and straight route could be tried out subject to MPS of the route else main line will always be there b/w sguj/NJP -KIR

---

Ask katihar and purnea people what ignorance is. As per your comment it can also be said that if NFR wanted it could have diverted trains towards South via katihar seeing the demand pattern of katihar junction in one and only yesvantpur express and we can also use such emojis like "😭😭" but we understand trains will only go through the mainline for South which is kne kdpr mldt line. Similarly for rajdhani trains towards Delhi the main line will always be NJP BOE(towards salmari) - KIR. I do believe MLDT should get a dedicated connection for North which will benefit biggies like mldt bgp jmp etc Similarly KIR direly needs connection for South which is totally dependent on HWH SDAH

---

Oh great good for araria then 😂

---

How is up and down decided wrt direction or wrt operating cdo
