SDAH Duronto NDLS-SDAH Relevance Analysis: Combine Occupancy of HWH Raj, SDAH Raj & BKN-SDAH Duronto in NDLS-HWH/SDAH Section:
1. 12 Aug: NDLS & HWH/SDAH total Occupancy Stands out at 50%.
2. 13 Aug: 62%. SDAH Raj 68%, HWH Raj 58% & BKN Duronto at 61%.
Forget Peak/Lean of Normal Circumstances, even in Pandemic Duronto justifies its NDLS-SDAH Stretch!!

Both Data is 2nd Charting based & totally correct. Complete Vacant Berth is passed on to next Charting Station past Second Charting!!
BKN Section pass on 620 Vacant Berth (243 Booking) to NDLS.
NDLS passed on 453 Vacant Berth (162 Net Booking) to CNB. Coach algorithm isnt needed to know this but still done.
Out of 243 Booking, its not known how many

actually booked till NDLS & if known will tell actual Booking ex NDLS!!
CNB/DDU/DHN Second chart is not prepared & hence not included.

Re# 5031630-314              
Vacant berth are passed only if sufficient time lapse is there between creation of two Chart between station like one between Bkn and newdelhi
Vacant berth are not passed when time between creation of two Chart very less
There should be atleast sufficient time present between final Chart of one station to creation of first Chart of another station

Re# 5031630-315              
The Data under frame now is outcome of second charting at both Stations, Vacant Berth been passed & hence not false against you casual remark!!
Loss Quotient of DHN/DDU: There is no dearth of valid & comfortable option to travel from DHN/DDU (for NDLS or GC Stations) unlike BKN Section!!

NGP-ASR: 808 Berth. 2A 45%, 3A 55%. 3A adds 12 berth ex NDLS. No major DIP at 1A/2A ex NDLS. E2E Occupancy quite stable.
Kalka Mail: 254 AC Berth. 35 Berth reduced ex NDLS (153 to 118)
Combine AC Capacity: 808+254=1162. Occupancy: NGP AC ex NDLS 493. Kalka Mail ex SNP 185. Occupancy: 678/1162=58% a day.
This Occupancy will dip with increase in AC

When inaugurated this sealdah duronto was biweekly only; used to cover the distance in 16 h 20 min. At a time when premium service is in direct competition with flights, run time increased by 1h 40 minutes. Again should be made biweekly with short termination at ndls; at least some operational cost/resources would be saved(traction/power/crew/track usage etc)

Re# 5032998-13              
And Rake also!! SDAH-NDLS: 1 Rake for Bi/Tri Weekly, 2 Rake for 4 days/Week. SDAH-BKN: 3 Rakes for 4 Days a week
Akal Takht/Durgiana are running full!! But best train to ascertain HWH-ASR/JAT AC Check is SDAH-JAT HS which isnt correctly running now.
SDAH-NDLS DRNTO frequency extension was result of huge occupancy in HWH/SDAH Raj which always have max E2E Occupancy!! So even if SDAH Duronto runs with 50-60% in lean period in NDLS-SDAH is upto mark!!

Another blunder done by IR. Extension of this train was totally reckless and senseless. Seeing people justifying this act I feel helpless for such mentality. They are not RFs but lollypop seekers!!

SDAH-NDLS: 49% & 53% (Booked Ticket Contribution: SDAH 57% & BKN 20%)
NDLS-BKN: 20% & 20%
NDLS-BKN seems struck at 20% AC Demand. Increase need to be checked later when Tourism Flourish!!
