100% Agree. But our bad luck is that even Bhopal's public representatives are not paying attention towards this issue. BPL Div sends proposal for dedicated trains to Bengaluru, Patna, Varanasi, Mumbai almost every year but still trains are not been sanctioned. Bhopal only gets trains at the time of election in 2018 we got Humsafars, and in 2023 got VBs. Its been over 6 months that Nishatpura station is ready but because of Politicians its not getting inaugurated.
Althouh Bhopal may get some dedicated trains in future as following Infra works are going on
-IOH...
more... Shed at RKMP (under construction)
-Pitline upgradation from Conventional to Electrified CAMTECH Pit is in progress at RKMP
-2 New 24 coach CAMTECH Pits are planned for BPL Station (current status of approval is still unknown)
-Vande Bharat Maintenance Shed is under construction at SHRN.
Still a lot of space is available at Nishatpura Yard and near RKMP and at Misrod to build more pitlines if Infra is the only bottleneck for introducing new trains.
I hope Bhopal gets its due after completion of above works. Bhopal seriously requires train to
-Mumbai Daily (4 day to CSMT and 3 day to MMCT)
-Pune Daily (Increasing HS frequency or introducing Sleeper VB on this route)
-Ahmedabad/Rajkot (3 days atleast)
-Patna (via CNB,PRYJ, BSB) Daily
-Regularization of AGTL Special
-Bengaluru (1 day via SC, 1 day via MAS)
-Trivandrum weekly via KR
-SVDK Bi weekly
-Morning train to Indore
-MEMU to ET,KNW,GUNA,SGO,UJN
