People of Azimganj , Nabadwip Dham, Sahibganj , Katwa , Jangipur Road have expressed their sorrow on the route selection of Bhagalpur - Howrah Vande Bharat Express .

It was initially proposed via Nabadwip Dham , Azimganj , Barharwa , Sahibganj as known from a leaked document last year but Nishikant Dubey wanted it to run via Dumka & after that via Dumka was approved by Railway Board.

The doubling of New Farakka - Bandel section was completed on March 2023 & after that no major increment is observed in this route till now. One premium train should run in this route atleast once a week either towards NJP or towards BGP

Need to extend this train upto Jogbani(JBN) Because there are only one train(tri-weekly) from Jogbani to Kolkata(via- KIR, MLDT, NFK, RPH, BHP, BWN, NH) It will be very helpful for the people of Jogbani, Forbesganj, Purnea and BAK loop line(JRLE, AZ, KWAE, NDAE, BDC) to reach Howrah at morning.
This train, 15711 currently running as a weekly train, if it extended upto Jogbani then it's frequency also need to increase(tri-weekly at least).
