Observations to make this train a huge success.
(1) Should be operated like a respectable Broad Gauge Express Train with higher speed and lesser stops and not just a replica of NG Satpura Express. Even passenger trains of BG could give the avg speed of NG Satpura Express for intermediate small stations.
(2) Make it full length 24 coach train and bifurcate it at G and extend one portion to Raipur with stoppages at Dongargarh, Rajnandgaon, Durg, Bhilai and second portion to NGP with stoppages at Tumsar Rd, BhandaraRd.
(3)...
more... With above arrangement, very high patronage is expected as it will be much shorter route from JBP to Durg/R/NGP than present route.
