The latest buzz on this extension is it's gonna kick off in September, but the exact date ain't out yet.

Trips of train 04141/42 Spl are extended again.

I wanna say, until 04141/42 becomes regular, NCR might try adding some extra stops like HRS, PHD, etc but ONLY IF IT MAKES MONEY.

But yeah, ideally train 22431/32 should be running daily with an extension to SVDK along #make22coacher

This was bound to happen, man! Even though the trains don't always have huge crowds, they still get a good number of passengers all year round. From what I've heard, these trains from GS have a decent amount of people boarding. While NCR/PRYJ might stick to their usual ways and not add extra stops for regular trains, I agree with you that they should definitely consider adding extra stops along NCR for the special trains. These areas have a lot of people working in Ludhiana, Jalandhar, and stuff, so I don't think revenue will be a big problem. And the best solution would be extending it all the way to SVDK and using a full-length train. But with the extension of Jammu Mail, I'm not too hopeful about that happening unless some magical Mahakumbh effect comes into play.

Long story short, I had a solid experience while getting off at ETW & TDL, especially with the peeps working there. 😏 (I was on train 22431)

The long-haul trains zoom through NDLS - CNB - DDU route in NCR, but NCR should also look out for the in-between stops. I gotta give props to NER for that.

On point. With Jammu's Mail now reaching SFG, it's less likely for 22431/32 to run daily or extend to SVDK.

In fact, maine ETW aur TDL mein bhi mast de-boarding dekhe hain, staff toh mast hai. 😉 (Maine 22431 mein safar karte waqt)

Long distance trains toh tezi se chalti hai NDLS - CNB - DDU track pe NCR mein par NCR ko intermediate stations ka bhi dhyan rakhna chahiye. Ismein NER ko salaam hai.

Mast hai. Jammu Mail ka extension SFG tak, 22431/32 ko daily milna ya SVDK tak extend hona mushkil hai ab.
