Will you kindly do a favour by also creating a Silchar to Howrah Express?
Here are some facts:
1. Most people from Silchar travel to Guwahati followed by Howrah. (From existing pattern at railyatri).
2. There are 2 daily flights each between Silchar and Kolkata and Silchar and Guwahati and they are always full.
3....
more... The air ticket to Kolkata costs at least Rs 6500 whereas even AC1 ticket to Kolkata will now be cheaper. So Railways may get the idea of running Premier trains for this route. The coach composition should take this into account.
4. It seems neither GHY nor KYQ has the ability to handle more starting trains because of lack of parking space. Extension of Kanchenjunga Express to Silchar was being talked about because of this, besides a new Silchar-Howrah Express.
5. Those travelling from SCL to Kolkata need conevient connections to Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai. So the arrival time has to be convenient on this account if air travellers have to shift to train. Same applies to departure from Howrah.
