It was a complete flop train and totally unplanned. If you look at the major points along the route,
1. NTSK - ignored.
2. DBRG - too early departure.
3. Jorhat - has its own Jan Shatabdi, people can do their work in the first half and take the train at 2 PM.
4....
more... DMV - 9 am departure, 2 pm arrival implies wastage of a whole day for 5 hours of travel.
End to end passengers from Upper Assam to guwahati will always prefer an overnight train in the form of Vivek, kamrup and the rajdhanis
please wait...Translate to EnglishThat train was a total disaster and they didn't plan it well at all. Let me break it down for you:
1. They ignored NTSK.
2. The train left DBRG too early.
3. Jorhat already has its own train, so people can finish their work in the morning and take the 2 PM train.
4. DMV leaves at 9 AM and arrives at 2 PM, which means you waste a whole day for just 5 hours of travel.
If you're traveling from Upper Assam to Guwahati, it's always better to take an overnight train like Vivek, Kamrup, or the Rajdhanis.
