This train literally needs to be made as a daily train ASAP. In fact, it was a daily train in MG period.
It enjoys good patronage throughout the years, even though the TT is very slow. With Extra summer rush, several ICF rakes in hand and 90% of the route is having 110 MPS, SR is waiting for what? Literally losing good amount of revenue.

In the MG era it was a Daily train. It should be made a Daily. It should be speeded up as much as possible.

I feel Katihar CDO shud be used and new train for ANVT, ASR should be explored via PRNA FBG Saraigarh Nirmali DBG NKE GKP CNB.
This route should also get a Delhi bound train & KIR CDO shud be used for maintenance.
KIR has 4 pitlines but only a small number of trains for primary maintenance..

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.
