There are total 4 Pf.
Pf 1: Its the Pf which is at the entry building and the main exit gate from here only. Intercity trains Baghajatin passenger (both up-down), Dhauli express (Puri bound) and BGY BBS express (BBS bound) comes on this Pf. This also acts as a loop line for freight or other train, which are to be overtaken by some other train.
Pf 2: Its NOT an island type Pf. All the main administrative and commercial offices like GRP-RPF station, Postoffice , Parcel booking , Waiting halls etc are present
...

here only. On this Pf , the trains coming from HWH/KGP side and going towards CTC side comes. This is on Main Line (Pf 1 act as loop line for overtakes).
Pf 3: Its an island type Pf. This is also on main line itself and the trains coming from CTC side and going towards KGP/HWH side comes on this Pf.
Pf 4: This Pf is used as a loop line for the overtakes. If a freight or express train is to be overtaken, then its towed on Pf 4 and the other train overtakes from Pf 3. But sometimes there comes exception. All the passenger train going towards KGP are brought on Pf 3 only (Not on any pother Pf). So if an express train is to overtake a passenger train, then it has to overtake from Pf 4.
Now here at BLS station, only 2-3 trains pass by without halting, like MAS HAZ Sangrami and PURI-SDEAH duranto, or else all other every train halts here.

BBS rajdhani halts here because after Cuttack, its the biggest city before West Bengal and a great money earner for ECoR.
Rajdhani is halting here from its 1st run itself.
Sangrami is a SR train , so SER can't interfere for halts.
But still its a huge secret why only Sangrami and HWH SSPN doesn't halt here, whereas rest every non-duranto train halts here.

Re# 1716543-3              
And also I dnt know why many premium express trains and AC premium express trains which halt at BHC don't halt at BLS ?? I think it might b due to lack of platforms or these trains don't hv dat mch demand frm BLS.

Pf constraints are present. Up and Down Platforms have No Loop line. Direct Mainline is there for Pf 2 and 3.
Thats why they dont give halt for some Special trains like SRC ERS special.
But majorly all the regular express train halt here.
Sangrami , SSPN SF and KYQ PURI are exception.

BBS Rajdhani gets an End to End WAP 7. Personally seen the same WHite stallion getting reversed and attached to Rajdhani at KGP.
But Purushottam gets a separate WAP 4 Loco from KGP to Puri and vice versa.

I think the official link is WAP-4 from Puri to KGP n vice versa coz in this site the same loco link is mentioned for 12801 though for 12802 it shows WAP-7 GZB end to end. i dnt knw the reason bt for last 3-4 weeks i.e since Ganesh chaturthi BBS Raj is mostly(for 5 days a week) seen with WAP-4 of diff sheds like SRC, BRC,MGS, CNB at Balasore. One of the members of IRI said tht it was due to the shortage of wap7 loco pilots as they are undergoing training and most of the imp trains(with loco link WAP7 GZB) are given WAP-4 as offlink. this Thursday 22824 was seen with HWH WAP-7. All these things are quite confusing

Semane tah debe... kahinki naa they are jealous of ECor....they can't tolerate an ECoR train getting WAP-7 regularly... KGP officials r "paidaaishi kuttas (Dogs by birth)" u know...I suspect that even if NR gives WAP-7 regularly to BBS raj, the SER Rly kuttas of KGP give WAP4 sometimes to this Rajdhani exp upto BBS rather than giving WAP7 .

SER KGP authorities are dogs as they are kaminaas and ECoR authorities are donkeys and some are snails as they are much lazy.. the two railway zones have combinedly ruined the state of railway in Odisha... Balasore is an imp city of Odisha but see its railway stn.... seems to b even smaller than BHC and JJKR... SER has ruined BLS but I hope ECoR (even though it's lazy) can improve this station

Food is completely nil available here. Only for long journey trains crossing at "dinner time" i.e between 7 pm to 9 pm , local vendors come from outside and sell hot poori-bhaji and samosas. Taste wise they are good and acceptable.
A Omfed milk/milk products/juice/water bottle stall is present on Pf 3/4 and at Pf 1. Other than these, nothing else is present.
But once you come outside of station premises, then you will find numerous amount of restaurants present. A Mutton heaven is present hardly 100-200 m away on main station

road. Its name is "Mutton Darbar". A one of a kind restaurant dedicated solely for Mutton only. You will get only Mutton dishes here, but really taste wise very out of the league. Its open till night 10 pm. So if having lots of time to kill , then fill up you tummy here with mutton.

No pre-paid taxi/auto stand is present. Instead ample amount of auto and cycle-rikshaw are there through out the day,just outside main building. Try to negotiate,because they will demand more money. But if they don't agree to your terms,then walk a few 100-200m outside on the main road,you will reach station chhak,from where you can get more cheaper cycle-rikshaw.
But during night time,i will suggest you not to search for anything as its a silent sleeping small town. Instead wait till 5 a.m,then you will get many options to go in town.
