So is Surat, Prayagraj, Bhubaneswar (for Puri Duronto), Agra and so on.........
But that'll start a trend doesn't it ?
KSK halt and Chennai Duronto halt at Gwalior but skip Agra, why ? Agra doesn't deserve the halt ?
If this trend continues what'll happen to end to end passengers ?
Gwalior...
more... needs halts of Mumbai Rajdhani but not of Haridwar LTT AC Express. Why ? Normal Trains aren't that attractive ?
Prayagraj, has the High Court of a State, It's the divisional and Zonal Headquarter of a division and Zone and is more populated than Gwalior. Then what justification does a Duronto, Sampark Kranti train have to skip it ?
Ghaziabad, a city bigger than Prayagraj, Gaya, Varanasi and Dhanbad in terms of population gets skipped by countless trains, by following Gwalior's logic even Ghaziabad should demand halts for train, right ?
Why does Gwalior want a halt ? Because Jhansi has it. The only reason it had the halts was because of Lobby and the adequate distance for technical halt. As same is done for Kanpur, Bhusawal, Balharshah and Deen Dayal Upadhayay Jn.
Even Surat, the 9th Largest Urban City of India hasn't demanded halts of Trains respecting their concepts but all should go down in drain as Gwalior needs it. 🙏🏼
Now my whole statement doesn't matter as we have the ruins of Bikaner Sealdah Duronto.
