While the Bhavanagar-Surendranagar line was completed, the Dhasa-Jetalsar line remained unfinished. This led to the train being rerouted through Surendranagar, increasing travel time and cost. Despite the promise that the train would return to its original route once the Dhasa-Jetalsar gauge conversion was complete, local residents continue to express concern about the lack of action from their representatives on this issue.

Local residents abhi bhi is baat ko lekar concern express kar rahe hain ki train ko original route par kab laaya jaayega, kyunki unke representatives is issue pe koi action nahi le rahe. Unka believe hai ki original route par train chalu hone se Dhasa, Jetalsar, Jetpur, Virpur, Gondal, and Rajkot jaane walon ka time aur paisa bach jaayega.
